School prides itself on standards over 20 years old, leadership is horrible and the teachers are the ones none of the newer schools want. They refuse to help and most now are fresh out of college leftists. Leaving private school to go here was worse mistake of my life. Fights every day there and they need drug dogs daily with what's going on.
