One of the best part of my experience is how my teachers take care of me on my first year being in this school. And the worst part of my experience is how there were multiple threats on the school. A change I would like to see if people being nice to each other

A lot of AP classes are offered, but not for the 8th graders. If you're in honors classes, the students are well-behaved, but otherwise I would not recommend. Great support for mental health if you have an IEP. And you can get into a great college from here.
