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.

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.
