It's an overall good school academic wise, but they fail to teach you the crucial things about life. They don't really care about bullying and there's constant fights going on. Majority of my teachers have been great but I always have my teacher change on me throughout the school year which is frustrating. The school try's to help you with college applications but it's still confusing on your on and gets a bit overwhelming. Though my education is great and is on par with private schools.

School has good opportunities for some. They should improve by ensuring access to all and diversifying their staff to better support the needs of all student groups.

There are some teachers that have no idea what they're doing. Or they are just not that bright. Makes me wonder who they knew to have gotten the job. There are other teachers that are excellent! They are hard working and very compassionate.
