The school is very diverse, and there is a project lead the way program where students can explore their interests in bioscience, engineering, computer science, or the humanities. The school has fueled my interest in biomedical science and the community is very uplifting.

I would say my best parts concerning this school would be the advanced placement courses, the rigorous and challenging classes, having the ability to expand my knowledge in STEM, and my ability to advocate for myself. Some bad parts are the treatment of some of the teachers/coaches, inability to get some students serious about school, and more.

The school works hard to help children succeed, which isn't easy given the population served. Many have English as a second language and par...
