The teachers at this school were fantastic. My english teacher went above and beyond to really make us think and broaden our thoughts. The quality of teachers were excellent. The had great teaching styles for the most part (most were engaging and involved). My teachers cared about me. I only went to this school my senior year and my teachers went out of their way to get to know me. I found that they were consistent graders and communicated effectively with all students.

A few of the teachers really put their personal time and effort into lessons and lectures , while as others struggle doing so . Also , some are so unorganized that they misplace students' homework before it is graded . Some struggle keeping the bigger classes (up to 28 students at one time) under control and quiet in order for others to work or study . Another big issue is the availability of some teachers and staff ; they're virtually impossible to reach outside of school if one were to have a question , and when they are at school , students sometimes feel intimidated to approach them because a couple teachers are so close to some students that they are more friends than anything else , and get upset if one were to interrupt their gossip fests .

This school did have at one time a relatively satisfactory program but over the recent years many of the good teachers have left and the quality of academics and discipline have declined. Bullying and students struggling academically or with special education needs are not appropriately addressed if...
