I found that Denfeld has good resources for college. Teachers are there to help you out if you ask. There are lots of available scholarships for 1st Generation College students. I have felt un safe at times. If you are taking the advanced classes it is good as the sketchy people don't take the difficult classes. If you focus on your education you will do well there.

I think this causes the test scores to be lower and the crime...
