Over all i wish the bathrooms were more sanitary and cleaned more often. I wish Teachers were more concerned about our wellbeing.

It's a great school with a lot of nice people in it, the only thing I would say about it is that the administrators there are pretty mean to some students and so are the teachers. But other then that everything else there is great including the academics and sports.
