The food is average and the atmosphere is diverse, the teachers are great but the administration is poor. They are not connected to students and seem fake.

To be honest, the school is very well organized in its layout. It makes sense. Students are mostly pretty rude, but I guess it depends on who your classmates are. In my opinion, there aren’t many consequences for the ‘troublemakers’ that basically just wreak havoc upon the school and its students. T...

It is a good school except for the fighting and bullying the teachers are nice and respectful.the teachers are willing to help you learn and most of fighting is between the same groups of students.

Unless your kid is a straight A student, or excels in sports, good luck. Absolute nightmare of a school, the teachers like to seem like they have it all...
