My brother has been going to this school for about 2 years now and it’s probably the worst I have ever heard, he faces constantly bullying in his classes and so many issues at school but I’ve never even heard atleast ONE disciplinary action taken against any of the students who have gave him trouble...

Meh. I wish there were more attention to modernizing the teaching methods at this school, and teaching to something other than the lowest common denominator.
