my experience was good i loved that i found my passion for theater and arts (thanks to the theater teacher mr. hayes). i also liked how staff and workers were very patient with the students . And how they focused on mental health.

No teachers, only substitutes for necessary classes. Teachers are good but classes are too slow and don't prepare for college. School only prepared seniors for community college when it came to resources.

Well, they offer art and book clubs. Mostly all of the teachers help the students by tutoring after school. This school also offers college classes and fun sports such as soccer.
