Trash. Absolute garbage. Your nothing but another statistic on their boards. If you're a human with emotions, prepared to get shipped off to North.

I feel as though the school itself isn't so bad; however, when it comes to giving punishment to teachers and students, there is nothing that ever come from it. There have been multiple instances where a student should have been held accountable for being disrespectful towards the staff and their fellow classmates. I understand we don't all have to like each other but we should be able to respect one another.

Not gonna lie I really don't like this place. Half the staff don't do anything or when they do they don't do it correctly. And the fact that they are trying to stop all the kids who are vaping is laughable. I can't go into a bathroom without clouds of vapor seeping out of the stalls. Great school though.

You're just a cog in a machine at this school. They don't actually care about your well being. If your not getting perfect grades, and perfect attendance your getting the boot with the other "bad apples."
