We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ive been in that school since 6th grade, at first there were many great teachers. But as time went on I feel like there weren't enough AP classes. The teachers weren't as helpful, som were but not by a lot.

The teachers will either give you the worst experience of your life or teach you the best lessons, some of them really dont care and only work their to gain power.

As a student, the school is bad because of the administrators that are in charge of this school.The deans barely do anything except walk around the halls and just ask others to take their headphones off and a lot of the teachers don't even really take things seriously except a small few.
