Not very diverse, mostly Hispanic students. Some teachers care and are great, others are awful and racist. Good arts programs, but most athletics are lacking. If you want good academics, Early College is the way to go.

Teachers are great, but administration is horrible.Don't reveal that you suffer from a mental illness because you will be looked down upon, and questioned. Especially by the principal Jeremy Richardson. You will stop being treated with respect. The stigma is very present at the school.
