Overall not the worst experience but some of the faculty doesn't seem to care. They allow some students to get away with way too much. Also very unorganized and it hurts the students. You know it's not good when you have a reputation as a fighting school.

I thoroughly enjoyed my High School experience and have no regrets. Active in many different on campus things such as, drill team, dance & guard squad, JV softball, as well as an peer counselor my senior year. I made many great friends and memories and cant wait til our 10,20,30 year reunion.
