The school is a typical, average high school. But I give it 4 stars. I like the facilities and the teachers. The facilities are up to date and user friendly. The teachers are nice and cool and actually teaches, at least mines are. They have a lot of sports. They even have a golf team. The food is average even though it could be better. The two things that I don't like in the school is the lack of diversity. I am a black person and almost all of the students are black. I wish there was more diversity there, more Asians, more Indians. The other thing I don't like is that we only get 50 min of class with the teachers every day. It is highly inefficient and increases homework threefold. But still, I give 4 stars because I like it there.
