Not my favorite experience. The school is so prejudiced, specifically against students with learning differences and students enrolled in arts programs. As an autistic student, I had to fight for my 504 plan. On top of this, so many students are addicted to nicotine and various other drugs.

It was ok, there were a lot of options for college course and the teachers are very good at their jobs. however there are a lot of discrimination of the students, lgbtq is not supported and if you are of a different ethnicity, you are cast out

The teachers are there to help when you ask for help. The staff is mostly friendly. Some of the teachers do not do their work and don't actually teach like they are supposed to, but they got me ready for my college career.
