I loved going to this high school because of the community it is. I felt like I belonged to this high school and felt like I could do anything I put my mind towards. There was lots of ways to show my creativity.

Good education and teachers. Needs more adversity and acceptance. We learn a lot and get a great education as the teachers seem to actually care about how we are doing. The school is generally good. The students could have more boundaries set though. There are a lot of drugs done in the bathrooms and they only think closing the bathroom will help but then it just makes it harder to use the bathroom and the kids that do it will just move to another one. There is also a lot of discrimination against anyone that tries to be themselves or is not what society believes they should be. The district in general could be better problem solvers and be more open minded.

I was ahead of a lot of my peers in ma...

Unless you have the right name, are athletic or academically thriving, good luck trying to fit in to this school district. My child could not get the help she needed with math and reading. I got sick of fighting tooth and nail in trying to implement a 504 plan for her. Thankfully we got out of that...

There are a lot of children drinking and on drugs at this school. The school itself seems more interested in sports than academics.
