They have not prepared the students for after high school graduation. The counselors are awful. They follow you through your entire academic career but never really advise you on what classes to take. I was never advised that a lot of colleges want 2 years of a foreign language, and I never took the classes. Now I am not able to even attend some colleges I may have chosen.

This school has little to none air conditioning, is infested with several rodents which you can confirm by asking any teacher in the small gym area. And all the science buildings smell like leaking gas. All I want is some air condition but apparently that is too much to ask for, they care more about...

Absolutely terrible. The students are some of the most disrespectful and rude people I have ever met, and many teachers are disrespectful and are very weak at their teaching.

This school is overall so terrible, so soulsuckingly toxic in its very nature, and so depressing that skipping class or even entire days of school in order to not have a complete mental breakdown is commonplace.
