I like that the school was made to help students achieve the career that they desired to pursue. I like that the school truly prioritized the success of their students no matter how much trouble they caused. They especially prioritized the careers they wanted part take in, some were like experiencing the actual career while other not so much. I don't like the condition, of the building it self in certain places seems to be falling apart. Also, being that it's a school over a swamp it should have some form of central air because during the summer time it feels better outside than inside.

They are rude and unhelpful they always have attitudes and favo...
