Overall this school makes me feel safe. If I ever was bullied or need counseled my school would be the place to go. Or if there happen to be intruders i would feel safe in my classroom with my teachers. We have a very secured campus, the principal would go above and beyond to make sure none of the students or staff get hurt. Health? It's okay here. The nurse is always available and always has the right solution. Sometimes she can be a little rude but that's everyone.

Teachers need the credit where it is due, Not every teacher goes above and beyond but 9/10 do. Some kids just don't like the fact that they're not handed everything or spoon fed in other words. Teachers try their very best to teach us and some kids just do not acknowledge it as much as they should. I give props to the teachers that care about what the future brings us and i appreciate what they do for me. I know that if I ever had any questions or problems then my teachers would be more than happy to help me.

In general, this is a great school but the class I was in did not fit well for me. I am a devout Christian with two parents with college degrees. Over 90 percent of my classmates had only a single parent or no parents active in their lives. They were allowed to do many things that I was not allowed to do. Every waking minute they were not at a school activity they were partying. This is not the norm for most students but just the particular class I was in. That is the only thing I did not like about this school.
