Love it so much. It's such a diverse school, you meet everyone from different cultures. The teachers and staff make sure your safety is number 1 priority and always remind us it is okay to not be okay. The medical program as well is an amazing program. They guide you and carve a pathway so you are able to walk through to your future careers in medicine. They give you hands on learning experiences. they give you experiences in hospitals as well. You are able to work on real life patients. Any club or sport can give you the experience and tools you need to succeed in your future careers.

Overall it's a good school, and much better than the stigma against it. It has a lack of school spirit which I really hope gets revived soon but the volleyball team cheer each other on like no tomorrow. I wish I got to go before Covid so I have a better experience but I can't complain with what I got.

This high school is quite mediocre and lacks responsibility and or accountability from teacher and staff members. Their decisions are not the best, especially the schedule. However, I do like that it is a welcoming environment despite multiple student altercations.

This school was a top academic school in 1963 through about the early '90's. Now it has barbed-wire on the fence tops and low college prep capability. Says a lot about how the demographics changed. Truly sad!
