I would say this school needs a lot of fixing up if they want to become something. The teachers just gave me work and expected me to understand what aI was suppose to be doing, that's not teaching. For the most part, the teachers were okay, there were a few excellent ones. One thing I hated is that they expected kids to behave after school, but they didn't have any activities and or clubs. For my first two years lunch was good until off campus got taken away because of the behavior problems.

The School isn't to good, there are a bit of fights and teachers never get to teach because the class is usually loud, the food is terrible. There are no sports and tutoring, there are at least 30 students per class.
