I would like to see a stronger special education department. There are not enough special education teachers and special education associates. Ther should be no studen lefy behind.

Horrid experience. A good portion of the students are bad people. The food is a nightmare. The counselors are cruel and the administration paid no attention to me. The teachers lack understanding and the Spanish II-III teacher is notorious for making students break down and cry in class. The teachers lack mental health training and several aren't equipped to be teachers.

This school is pathetic. The treatment of students with learning disabilities is completely unacceptable and bullying is always looked over. There are little consequences for students actions no matter how severe. The teachers pressure students to participate in extracurricular activities so hard th...
