It's going to be a place that I will certainly miss, there is a reason that school has been around for so long. I've made several amazing memories in that school from homecoming dances that are so carefully planned out, field trips and the fun substitutes we get. There so many different clubs and classes you can take which is amazing building blocks for those who aren't so sure on what they want to do in the future. When I graduate I will most definitely miss all the great memories I made there

The school is decent. Everything is mostly clean, but with all of the students, you can't expect it to be pristine. From what I've seen, the dress code is not enforced, or atleast not strictly. The main stairwell is pretty crowded, but there are plenty alternatives. I'm on the free lunch program, so I can't say much about prices,but the things that should be hot are hot, same with colder food. The coffee bar is amazing. The students are horrible. I am ashamed to be the same age as them. I was threatened to be jumped twice, and I have reported it, although I don't know what happened. In the hallways you can overhear exist, racist, abelist and homophobic comments from the students. On a different note, the teachers have been very accommodating with my 504.

As a parent I was pleased with the academic choices. A student can choose from on level courses to honors to AP and dual credit. Some of the sports teams need revamping tho. Student "leaders" who do nothing but yell at the other students and coaches who ignore issues in the team.

Miserable school that likes to program how proud and accomadating they are, with a zero tolerance policy on bullying and violence. Yet half the time they ignore any blatant bullying and punish the victim if they stand up for themselves. Im honestly surprised someone hasnt lost it and done a shooting...

Principals and vice principals have absolutely no idea what is going on. Punishments are dished out to children (even with 0 basis or proof) influenced by favoritism. My child was accused of something on the bus by another student, I asked to see the video as this is not something I have ever heard...
