The best part would be that the teachers are willing to help when needed. The school spirit is high and important to the school. The worst part would be that is students are failing, they proceed to give up and the school does not help them get back on track or try to understand how they can fix the problems in school or out of school.

All they do for education is play slime YouTube videos and sesame Street, they are failing those kids and it's disgracefu...

N-n-n-n-n-no. This is one of thee poorest schools, and I do not mean simply in fiscal terms. This is a place where students are teaching themselves, and if they don't have some sort of moral dogma, then they are at a total loss. This ends in students relying on bullying, harassment, stupid decisions...
