The kids that go here are mean, lots of fights happen, TONS of unnecessary drama. Some teachers are amazing the others are mean and don't necessarily care all that much about the kids it seems. Overall it was a 'eh' experience i wouldn't trade my teachers in specific for the world. They do a lot for me.
