My experience wasn't bad, however there were times where safety was questioned in our school with lockdowns. However I did enjoy being able to join a club and honor societies.

A far better school than people give it credit for. Plenty of sports and activities to do outside of school. Has its problems, especially with funding and fights, but that happens at every school.

They’re charging kids to join clubs now (but not saying what that money is being used for) and are allowing football players w...
