The best part of my experience were the few solid friends I made and the ap classes I took specifically psychology. Overall the school and staff are very nice, the only thing is that some students tend to be very cliche like which is kind've annoying. Overall a great experience with lots of fun opportunities academically and socially.

I personally love attending high school here, I think the teachers all really care about their job and are almost always available as a helping hand. As far as academics go, I think there really is an option for everyone do be able to find something they like within the four years of attendance here. I have not had many bad experiences here or really any to recount to claim as the "worst".

I personally have enjoyed my time here, although the culture of the school can be very toxic and tense. School fights is the biggest offender of this.

The hallways are extremely crowded, and students just tend to stand there, instead of going to class or let other people through...

I graduated from this school in 2007. I easily breezed by on sub par work. I managed to be in the top 10% of my class with minimal effort. Many teachers assigned "busy work" to avoid actualy having to teach, although many of the specifc teachers I am referring to have since retired. Even still, the...
