There are very few clubs. The main clubs that were there when I attended were art club and FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). There was not a club for everyone and many students did not participate in clubs.

There is very little ethnic/racial diversity at this school.

If I could choose again I would not go to this school. Although I met some great people here and had great teachers, this school is the opposite of diverse. Almost everyone is white, straight, Christian, and fiances are not too much of a struggle. There is little acceptance of minorities and little is taught about other cultures.

The “jokes” about black and Asian (specifically Chinese) are getting out of hand. I think the staff sh...

The lunches are stale, there were bug infestation problems, incredibly rude students, underpaid teachers, d...

First I was a substitute at this school & I didn’t have a positive experience with the teachers & staff. They were very rude, short, & clicky. Then my daughter attended here as a student & her bus always dropped them off late. Her first hour teacher was very rude & publicly shaming her for this issu...
