Bullying is a big issue. The principle and superintendent say they're going to do something about it but they never do. I know because I came to them crying about being bullied and they said they were going to talk to my classmates about it but they never did. Everything else seems to be ok if someone is sick they usually send them home so they don't get anyone else sick.
