It is a good school with good academics, as long as you try hard. I have seen a lot of people struggle here because they don't try. There is also a LOT of drama or things that happen that tend to be alarming such as bathrooms constantly shut down from flooding. Overall the teachers are nice if you try and the classes are hard but they are supposed to be to help you learn
