There are a wide variety of classes to take. Work experience and internships available during school hours. Music department is overlooked and faculty don't put much effort into student individuality.

The culture of the school is abysmal. Most of the kids are bullies and racism/homophobia/transphobia/general intolerance is rampant. Kids have been sexually assaulted within the walls with the perpetrators facing little to no repercussions. There have been multiple violent threats that haven't been taken seriously. Most people I know do not feel safe at school.
