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.

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...
