Honestly my school looks rich but its not, there cheap and they don't spend much time focusing on the things that really needs to be focused on glad ill be out soon. but i enjoyed what time i did spend in highschool, for most of it i spent playing softball and keeping good grades. I would like to see the school make improvements on safety requirements and focus more on things that are necessary than things that are unecessary

It's a good high school. I enjoyed the time i spent at the school. I wish there was more celebration on diversity (Hispanic heritage month, Asian and pacific islander month, etc.) It's a great school to in the STEM department with an amazing engineering program and a great medical program. I just wish there was more explanation on the medical program. Overall a good school.
