In the past this school was focused on teaching the essentials. Like all high schools there were clicks and bullying. I hope they have tried to correct this problem as best as they can. Best part of school was the lunch, although for a teenager I felt as if they didn't provide enough per student.

The teachers in this school are also extremely disappointing and hardly teach anything that is of use.

The majority of the teachers are great, but there are a few that I know many students have had negative experiences with.
