absolute terrible school. teachers and staff control every single thing students do. students get absolutely no freedom unless they are "popular" with administration. i highly despise everything about this school from the fact that teachers get to tell you not to use the restroom. there is an easy way to FIX the enviornment here, but there is no effort involved in doing so.
