3/14/2025
The school used to be very nice however it has been declining over the last few years. The atmosphere and moral is suffering immensely as both teachers and students seem deeply unhappy and upset. This is largely due to administration and budget cuts. The administration is not consistent and they often threaten students and staff with their removal only to follow through sometimes making it very anxiety inducing. The budget cuts have made the dining hall food horrible. The administration also sides with their own interests or the teachers I stress of students.

It's an amazing school, I enjoyed graduating from there. There are people from all over the world, and you see different cultures. We value the land we borrow from the native people in the region.

My best friend has been in this high school, there are excellent educators the only problem is that it is kinda remote and not so convenient that's all idk if it was her complaint but she said the schoolwork is always arduous.Actually I think it is good for her college application
