The teachers don't really care much about their students except for a select few. It seemed really easy to pass my classes because they don't really care. Bullying and harassment definitely exist here.

I have gone to this school my whole life and so have my parents so it runs in the family. I have always had pride in my school and so has my family. I love the school, but sometimes the students are not the nicest, but every school has that problem. I like small schools and I would definitely choose my school again if I had the option to do it all over.

The administration does not always make decisions that make the students happy; but ultimately they are just doing their jobs and are trying to make our school and community a better place.
