We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The High School has been pretty good so far but it does have problems. There is a huge smoking problem at this school I've seen multiple people smoke in the bathrooms. Lunch at the school is fine it really isn't fine nor bad it could be better tho. The school sports needs improvements. I've heard multiple people say that their sports haven't had enough funding because the school puts all their money into the crappy football team. The teachers I have met so fair have been all caring and nice. The administration needs some work tho. There is a little bullying problem at this school but it is usually done online. The school really hasn't done anything to prevent bullying. If you do have a chance to send your kid here you should but if you have better options stick with those options.

Although it offers some classes and experiences you can't find at many other schools, it does have issues with diversity and inclusivity, as well as funding.

I don´t think my school really stands out as being amazing. There are definitely small things that make it amazing but then there are things that make it the opposite. It has pros and cons like a normal school but they pretty much equal each other making it "average".

Not good. Went online after a bit of being there. A lot of other kids are dropping out, going online, or being pulled out of that place
