I went here for 8 - 9 grade, overall, it was ok. The teachers did their job. Some I made a connection with. The students I tried to connect with but, I was just wasting my time

I’m very disappointed in this school, the drama is crazy and on social media no one should have to deal with this and the teachers and principals haven’t stepped up yet to care .
