Honestly the school is very good but sometimes there is students who don't care not just students some staffs are so disrespectful. I would say the worse part is not getting help with something serious. Other than that the food is bad and they are so slow but huge difference between high point.

This school has a lot of issues but with all those probelms I feel like most students can find something to help them understand what they need ansd what they want to become.
