We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would like to see upgrades to the main building, including AC and more bathrooms, so that the students can go around the building and not have to back track 3 minuets of walking to get to the single bathroom stalls.

Teachers very biased, some nice one. Amazing band director. Although no AC, and bad cafeteria food. Not a lot of diversity within the school and wish there was actually teacher who taught what was needed for college. Not little things that you'll use for that class and that's it. Also, very old building, its always cold or to hot in it.
