Bad school. Occasionally you'll get the gem of a great teacher, but it's such a revolving door that most end of leaving anyway. Don't miss this place.

This school was mostly okay, it had ups and downs, but the worst part was the bulling. I got barked at, called names, and taunted for what i wore. My teachers also did not respect my pronouns.
