11/5/2025

I would like there to be more security on installing medal detectors. Overall, I have had a decent experience at my school and have been able to excel because of my teachers and peers. I think my school give me plenty of opportunities to succeed. However, they could do a better job on preparing us for college during our junior year.

The ag pathways are the best part in my opinion between all the recourses we have to be hands on and the teachers it is over all a nice place. The way things like lunch and the bathrooms are could be much better.

One commentor is mad they can't bring their own tablet to school and the other seems to have more to the story than just the side presented regarding mental illn...

This school overall is just terrible. Teachers/principals/guidance counselors only care about money. I would give this school negative stars if I could.

I would say this is probably the best place to learn in the non charter public school system. It has issues but if education is your goal this is the best place to go. It is what you make it
