I'm still going to this school and it's interesting I think the school has a lot to improve on and have more opportunities for certain things and they have a massive renovation on the school building. There was a fire at the school a couple of months ago I will never forget it wasn't huge but there was a lack of information until I had already left the school as it happened at the end of the day. It's just an okay school.

Sports is a big thing in our school, so many students support our sport teams. To join a sport you must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Our sports teams train everyday of the week beside Monday.

4-stars for programs and teacher staff, but 1-star for discipline and student bullying.
