I've loved my four years of high school so far they have been the best school years ever. Anyone who comes here love it here and wouldn't change it for any other school. The staff and teachers are very helpful with anything you need.

Not a bad school at all but compared to others i believe that a lot of things arent taken as seriously and a lot of teachers dont care to teach. It would take tons of reports to get rid of a teacher because of the teacher shortage but also has left many teachers that bully students and teach horribly behind. I would probably like to see a different approach towards how students are taught about bullying, safety, and more of a face-to-face talk than watching countless videos people speed through.

My overall experience has been great at this school. They have really prepared me for my future and have made my life in high school pretty easy. They are very reliable when I need assistance and are amazing when they help me. The sports at this school are also great. We have great coaches and staff the support us while we play sports. As a football and basketball player, I can really tell that the coaches are great. This school is amazing and wouldn't want to attend any other school.

The school on the exterior seems to be a gem worthy of being put on a pedestal, but upon closer inspection, there many underlying problems hidden in the cracks.
