I went to this school all four years and personally never had an issue. Only problem is safety here and there, there is always an issue with students having a gun on them.

I enjoyed my time at Seminole for the most part, I had some really good teachers who loved their jobs. Best part would be the culture we have as a school and the worst part is the safety and how kids are on drugs and do drugs in the bathroom. I would love to see the same kind of support/attention they give to boys sports, given to the girls sports. often the female student athletes are neglected and seen as not important.

There is a severe lack of communication between the administration and the parent...
