The school provided me with what I needed and I enjoyed playing football for the school. It allowed me to graduate with my associates.

Throughout my high school career, I can guarantee you that there is no better high school in the 956 Valley. From outstanding sports teams to having one of the best college prep programs, this school has it all.

My experience in school is pretty good because I get to understand and learn new things in class and every subject. Most students are friendly and mature and help you out with anything you need help with. The worst part of my experience is when I get to present anything because I get anxious and scared but I am trying to change it.

i'm sorry, but this is a great school with hundreds of amazing opportunities. It is a safe school. There's no fights during the school year, it's actually rare to find gang members. I hate that everyone believes that this school is unsafe because it's "ghetto". Go to school there and you'll see that...
