It was fine. Academically I didn't struggle and the staff was kind, but I know other students who have had different experiences.

A lot of teachers have biases against other students and will treat students differently. The sports program is not the greatest. We're considered the "expected losers". Diversity is actually pretty great and I love being exposed to all kinds of people. Not a lot of clubs and club involvement is low.

Average school. Best aspect of the school is the safety students feel. Doors are locked in the morning and visitors must be buzzed in the building. Secretaries are able to view the face and speak to visitors before unlocking the door to the school.
