Rank Bailey out of 10: 2/10 he makes me want to bleed he is inconsiderate he isn't very mindful he doesn't care about the student body he charges 12 dollars for a block but just bought an 8000 dollar golf cart my diploma was the size of an index card Bailey told a student that one of our fellow classmates who was tragically taken from us during our high school years that she was never really a student there anyways so he didn't feel as if he should honor her at graduation he said that she causes so much trouble to our school during her death because he was lazy while doing his own job someone like that shouldn't be in charge of so Many people and get to make so many choices then he turns around and throws the blame somewhere else because he's a coward.

Capital is a great place to go if you're into Jrotc or music and art on that level this school is perfect for that education wise not so much this isn't a get what you put in school it's more like a put in all you have and we'll give a little administration is an absolute joke and the teachers are more like really uninvolved babysitters the school is really gross and stays dirty hasn't been updated since marry had a little lamb and it's extremely violent and unsafe shout out to big L tho he holding it down

This school could be relatively decent but there are so many issues people ignore. For instance, teacher absences. A teacher I had this year just took it upon themselves to show up whenever they felt like it. (They missed approximately 15+ days of school. Excluding when they decided to walk out and...

This school and Vice Principal Cruikshank in particular show a complete lack of concern about bullying and have swept issues under the rug. Total disregard for zero tolerance
