I have only been in this school for two years transferring over my junior year and I would say its a pretty good school.The teachers are nice and if you need help they are there.I don't think I have ever had a problem here but my cousin with a bad attitude has. I would like to see more involvement with stuff so that every kid has a chance to participate and I would like to see them offer things for people with high social anxiety.

I have personally had some problems with a couple of teachers. For the most part, I like the staff, and a majority of them care about us.

There is always room for improvement, but for the most part, the staff is doing well with what they are provided.

Not enough classroom supplies, some teachers take grades on assignments they never gave, they do work on the football and baseball areas, they hire coaches instead of teachers, the yearbook teacher makes fun of students in class and the arts are under budgeted.
