The school has become more diverse, with a rise in different cultures. With the new principal I have seen more growth in academics and extracurricular activities. Academics are taken seriously, especially in higher education classes. However, the school needs work on prioritizing the student's well-being. Some students have expressed concerns about major disciplinary matters not being handled accordingly.

It's not a terrible place however, there is a lot of room for improvement for both the staff in the student body. There are times where they are several fights in just one day, students go into restroom to do bad activities, which overall just makes the school feel a little unsafe. My teachers however are amazing and great at what they do. The AP teachers here truly prepare you for AP tests.

Beware If Your Child Likes Art, There Isn't Enough Supplies That The School Provides Very Limited Amount. It Seems To Me They Want To Get Rid Of Art Or Any Classes Pertaining To It Because They Don't Have Anything For The Kids In Art. Check It Out & See For Yourself. I'm Very DISGUSTED about All Thi...
