This school has a lot to work on. The lunches are not good and they need to be longer. Also, the bathrooms are always dirty and most of the stalls don't lock. On the other hand, we have some incredible teachers like Mrs. Parker and Mr. Varvel who really like their jobs and care for their students. We also have a great guidance counselor who is a rockstar and helps with anything we can. Overall, this school is okay.
