Great school all around. Huge, so many opportunities are offered. Cool classes that push the technology skills exist in math, English, and even history
7/1/2025
Great school which was recently rebuilt. Felt very open and got to know alot of people. Additionally, helped with my planet fitness pizza mondays content on social media. Most importantly, the CTE programs of woodworking and engineering were awesome.
7/8/2024
Fights occur often. Classes are not great. Neither students nor teachers care that much. There are a few good teachers, but they teach AP classes, so the first two years of high school here are not the best.
