I can't say this was the best H.S. There are teachers I had for a majority of my first three years that had a low method of teaching; they often times could not teach and despite the constant nagging of students both honors and non, those teachers remained on grounds. The culture there is . . . Well it is diverse but it is not kind though granted I managed to pull a small crowd of friends, let's not forget it was on the news for a brawl. I would say go if you don't want to have a fear of presentations and stress over piles of work, because this school will give you that in their PBAT process, however other than that. There isn't really much to remember. A few good friends like family made, only three favorite teachers, and some teachers who don't have the qualifications for their teaching or an understanding as was purposely admitted a numerous amount of times by my algebra/geometry teacher.

Great teachers who care about their students. The school overall is not great; it needs to be more organized.

I like how some teachers do care about your future and help out as much as they can but I did not like how that school does not prepare students for college.
