Honestly, it is an ok high school; however, er the diversity here is not that good, there are quite a few fights. However, the teachers are nice and so is the administration, and also I believe that their academics are getting better , more students are going to mprestigious schools

I feel like students and parent's aren't involved with schools as much as they should be. As well the students are lazy and not into attending school events. I was pretty involved with school so I had the blessing of being everywhere and meeting new people.

My experience at this high school was amazing despite being the new girl in a new city and school my freshman year I found myself easily connected with my teachers in this high school despite my first year being on zoom. Teachers are far more concern with the mental health of their students which was really nice to see. I lost my dad during my jr year and still took AP classes the teachers at this campus motivated me by letting me have more days to study on my tests and understanding my situation. The programs this school provided me were also very beneficial exposing me to many schools and learning more about what college is going to be like as first gen student in a Hispanic household. At many times I found myself struggling to keep up with my grades and the environment I was in allowed me to keep pushing forward along with the people I met. This school guided me towards my future field psychology which I wouldn't have found anywhere else after everything I experienced in my 4 years.
