I've been going to the school since fifth grade and have always loved it. Now that I am this close to graduating they are giving me so many pathways to take. Along with schooling options after high school.

The teachers bully students, there's a lot of racism and sexism- all but few teachers care if you're actually doing well. The school only cares about its image, nothing about its students.

It was an okay high school experience. The school itself is great, the teachers are very kind and helpful, but the area and the people of the area are less than desired.
