It's pretty cool and I like it a lot better than my old school. The people here are pretty nice, not a lot of fights.

Horrible administration. I don't feel safe. I come to school everyday wondering if I could be hurt. Do not send your kids here.

It was a relatively good environment. I would have liked to see the teachers do more to help students from being excluded or made fun of.
