It wasn't that great of a school my friend chris turned into a bad person and meanwhile kevin became a nowhere close AP student like he was. What changed him was the students that attend there.

This school is crazy, there's a fight everyday. Half of my Pe class is failing because of a teacher. No one cares about your feelings, they let everyone get away with whatever. I feel unsafe as there was litteraly a fight right behind me in my history class.

This school teaches students what they need to know through experienced teacher that are hands-on and give students opportunities they would not have at other schools. I recommend this school to your children.

This school is too large and overcrowded. Multiple physical fights break out weekly, if not daily. My child does not feel safe here. His grades have dropped because it is not conducive to learning. I do not recommend this school.

Principal is excellent. Good at communicating out information. Front office staff is patient. Teachers have been attentive and helpful, really encouraging parents to let the kids come to them to handle any issues. My child had a great year.
