the school really isn't that bad, it has some really good electives and most of the teachers are really good. i mostly had a good 3 years here. there's just a lot of drama and fights. the school is really diverse. some of the teachers suck but that happens at every school. the librarian is amazing and very helpful. you can tell she really cares, and puts a lot of energy into what she does.

There has been too many incidents in that school. There's too many fights during and after school, and of course the Mercury incident. Honestly the teachers and staff do not pay attention and do not really care. I was very involved in the school as a parent and never once did we receive a warm welcome from the staff.

There are a lot of different races at this school. It is a very well mixed school, and I do not think that there were racist acts in bullying of that sort. There were other bullying subjects such as weight and height that people tried to make the best of.

Your view of this place changes when you look closer at it. I understand that some students can be horrible with no care for others except themselves, but there are still some students here who are pretty nice. you can make friends with people here, you just have to find the right ones that fit you....
