The school is in a fairly safe neighborhood. Most students are well provided for so those that come from low income households are often looked down upon and may be bullied. There are also instances of overweight students getting bullied by the more popular groups of people.

The principal at this school is phenomenal. He does a great job interacting with students and communicating with parents. They could be more strict in some areas.

I’m a recent alum ans no one I know likes this school. It had a huge vaping and discrimitory issue. The dicipline as far as I know did not do anything. If you were not popular and white, good luck. 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...
