This high school lacks diversity and the students here are not very kind (only a select few). The teachers are super nice and are the student's true support system. I would give this school an A+ for teacher support, an A for communication, and a C- on student behavior (they are not nice).

I haven't been here long enough to give it any higher, though it does have a few problems. Vaping is a really big problem in this school, and they are having to crack down on people saying racial slurs, threatening punishment, though it doesn't work. Other than that the school feels crowded more than anything.

I think that is has been the average run of the mill high school experience. Nothing really sticks out to me as fantastic, but it has been fun. Senior year has been fun, but it doesn't really feel like I am about to graduate. I have made some life long friends and college is going to be amazing.
