In this school we were treated like prisoners. I graduated in 2018 and every day leaving the school was like winning the lottery. With all the talk of "stopping kids bullying" no one looked at the many teachers the bullied abused and shamed the students. Many teachers had gender preferences and would treat kids like slaves. Any kind of rights we have as Americans were gone. Now they are removing our reviews from google so I only hope this review stays here.
