It is a great High school, I wish the school had more counselors to advice or navigate the students with the college process. It's less guidance where that is concern, so most students decided not to apply to colleges.

The worst part is the major having to pay for the trouble of a few. For example we had phones one year and since a few students wanted to fight and record our school started back up our no phone policy rule and it isn't far for the major having to pay for the few but besides that the best parts of the school is the staff and the community that we have it's very loving and entertaining and makes u want to be in school with the activity that they provide for us.
