I had to opportunity to meet so many people through the really great sports program. The teachers and students in upper level science, English, math and elective classes have been so supportive and have became some of the most trusted people in my life.

Overall the school is in the middle for me. There is some gang activity and student drug use on campus. Our teachers are a hit or miss depending on who you get. However, I fell in love with our science program and we have great elective science class options.
