The teachers are almost never qualified. It rare that you find a teacher actually qualified for the job. It's almost like a cult with the amount of teachers they hire that don't know what they're doing. The sport teams never win, very limited extra curricular options, food options are limited, and although it's a science school they don't focus on STEM.
