Overall a great high school with great teachers, I would recommend people to go here looking for an experience of culture and diversity. although, sometime the students can be a bit much and very chaotic in the classes before dismissal, being loud and sometimes over the top. I hope there is an improvement in encouraging team work, rather than ego in this school.
