Ok school if you take good classes. Clean building recently remodeled, some good teachers some bad ones.

My time at this High School was very well spent, along with many kind teachers and students. Overall the teaching isn't bad and many teachers truly do care and try to help students. Although the vending machines include some different options I believe that this school truly did help me grow up into the person I am today, and for that I am thankful.

Had a horrible experience with both admin and a teacher after she would bully me/embarass me in front of the whole class due to my disability status. She broke the law by not allowing me to have the accomodations I was obligated to under my 504 plan. When reporting this to admin they said they wouldn't do anything. Despite, and I state again, she broke the law. Rebecca Henry I had a wonderful experience with Kate Hutton who pushed me to improve my writing skills. She was an exemplar of public educators.

This school left me scarred, traumatized, and self-conscious. Sure, I got a decent education, but I was a social outcast humiliated by my peers while the administrators turned a blind eye to my situation. If your child is, generally speaking, a "weirder" type, i.e. louder, more spontaneous, or socia...
