Honestly, this school is okay. They have a really bad grading scale. It has a very good music department though. If you want to learn science or math, good luck. The teachers for the upper grades have no idea what they're doing/don't care enough to give you an actual education. This school is very white and isn't very accepting of racial or religious minorities or LGBTQ+ students. This school will not prepare you for college.

The guidance counselor is helpful but not all staff.

The workload is not too rigorous at this school. However, this does not actively prepare the students for college.
