I'm currently a senior and have been going here since the middle of 10th grad year and it's been an alright experience. Dont get me wrong the school is nice it's just the area it's in and the condition of the school.

Medicine and Community health is a inner city urban school lacking diversity and resources for student . Student are cheated out of a college ready education and forced to settle for less. I think tha seemed more parent involment and more arts classes as well as well equipped teachers that can teach material so that student will understand and actually learn. My experience has been okay but it could've been better.
