Good teachers, admin are nice and caring, lots of sports activities and clubs to partake in. Big emphasis on future readiness, jobs, college, trade school, or military. Proper resources to contact necessary people to prepare yourself.

Better guidance from School Counselor and teachers to help better students for College and any Scholarship that are available For all students no matter the race.
