The IB program is really great but because all of the best teachers are IB teachers, the science teachers for freshmen and sophomores aren't as good and can often leave you feeling unprepared for the IB classes you will take the next year.

If I could change anything at my school it would be for the construction in the parking lot area to finally be completed. It has been an eyesore for a while and it also limits the number of people that can park for events. I would also like for there to be more accountability for the teachers. Some of them have ideas and methods that are not as forwarding as it should be for today's students.

This school is poorly run all around. Homecoming is a joke. Barely existent. If you have a student athlete, consider going elsewhere.
