This school needs to do better. The school only ask on its best.When only The superintendent comes into this school. The teachers yell at the students.Because mostly the students don't care and just walk out The only best experience that comes from the teacher. and the field trip This school does not prepare me for college.Actually, the other way around.Which is kind of sadden And the lack of resources that the school has that others don't And it's a struggle for students to find what they need Or what they are interested in. Because of the lack of resources and the lack of emotional support

I enjoyed being with friends who is the same color as me. I enjoyed getting along with teachers, but sometimes teachers need our help, so we help them out.

Unsatisfactory overall. The lack of resources, leadership, no access to printer, and unprofessional staff fosters an unhealthy climate for both teachers and students. There is no curriculum in place and administrators are not educated in current best practices.
