I wanted the teachers to be more responsive to bullying. I wanted to have a consistent administration. My peers were never caring or helpful. The school crushed my spirit and my will to live. Every once in a while we had a good teacher. Unfortunately the administration treats them so bad that those good teachers that we love leave.

It's ehh. Could definitely use some more community involvement and school spirit. No one seems to get along as a whole within the high school and teachers are definitely not paid enough which is affecting the education outcome.

A lot needs to change,. The school is an okay environment but we suffer from bad administration. Our food is not the best. It doesn't have much nutritional value and the people serving it could be nicer. The teacher-student relationship could use some improvement. We need more trusted adults in our school to help with personal issues.

We have had conflicting experiences at this school. Teachers are, on average, good and informative, willing to talk to parents. Administration, however, in my experience, is kind of a joke. Unprofessional behavior, disregard for statutes and laws, favoritism rampant. And when you challenge them, you...

This is a community stuck in the twilight zone of the 1960s. The school is a sad mixture of low income, unmotivated kids, and teachers that will only do the minimum. The teachers will push their favorites, but deliberately withold advancement from those that threaten their own children or "pets". Th...
