administration, teachers, students, counselors, and anyone else in between are useless. they leave students out to dry without any care for their real well being. clear discrimination and disregard for students of certain demographics. administration was pleased with for help and they swept it under the rug. genuinely horrible, wouldn't recommend to ANYONE.

It's an okay school. A lot of judgy people sometimes because almost everyone has the money to have a brand new car or shoes. Everyone's either focused on relationships or drama or in a competition to see who has the best grades. If your a minority, this school doesn't really have diversity. (Coming from a minority it doesn't really bother me much). Overall, Its a pretty decent school I guess.
