Throughout my academic career, this institution has served as my primary place of education. While it may not be universally regarded as the most exceptional educational establishment, it consistently strives to empower its students to achieve their full potential, irrespective of their diverse backgrounds.

This place gives 0 cares about anyone other than the overpaid administration. If you're a teacher or anyone else involved with this school you'll be the last to know when there's a major safety concern. You'll be the last to person to get fair treatment from the peers and even the other stuck up teachers here. And let's not forget how everyone in the HS has magically lost all interest in their music program. This is one of the worst work environments I've personally witnessed.

The school has good teachers and plenty of clubs to be a part of, but I have found that the school is quite lacking in the health department when it comes to teaching students about mental health issues.

The teachers and Principals only care about the sports kids!! There are massive amounts of drugs being sold at the school. The bullying is horrible, and even when you go to the District office and complain, they do nothing about it!! I would avoid this school district at all costs! The teachers are...
