I went to school here a few years ago. I can tell you it was the worst years of my life. The staff that was/is there did nothing to stop the bulling problems that were happening. I would get tables shoved into me while I was trying to do my work. my ribs were bruised all the time from it. When it was brought up to the staff they told on me to my bullies. I constantly got picked on for not being native. This school is such a joke. It was like a constant race war going on between students/staff. Plus, education wise its one of the worst. I just honestly wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.

When it comes to bullying I don't feel safe at all. There is so little that the school does to prevent bullying. The security gaurds are always either by the front door or they are monitoring the hallways. Our bags are searched and we walk through a metal detector and are wanded every morning when entering the building. The school nurse has to come between schools so she has a set schedule on when she is in the building. There is not always someone on duty however which makes a lot of parents uneasy in the case of an emergency.

Not very many clubs are available at this school. Mostly just Student Council, the school is rarely small so they wouldn't have very many participants anyway because most of them are in a sport activity. They only sports available here are boys and girls basketball, girls volleyball, football, cross country, track and field, and golf.
