Overall the school is great, though it's hard for people to get into sports, as well as some clubs if ur not their friend they kinda just ignore ur existence. The staff try their best but when it come to personally talking to a student it's bad, as a student who can't communicate as well, I felt worse when my teachers couldn't communicate with me neither

I actually really like my school and I understand that it's hard to manage a whole school of students but I wish there was a better way they went about managing things like PAWS or finding different ways to have kids stop doing things they aren't supposed to do (ex/ closing all but one bathroom for the boys)

This was the worst high school experience I could've ever had. All of the faculty, including teachers, office workers, etc. don't listen and they don't take into account the students needs.

It is said that no student should be let fail but I've heard several members including staff of high position saying "let them fail." Thi...
