I would like for there to be more information about college given to the students. This school claims that they want us to be 'college-ready' and many of the students attending this school are enrolled in ACT online prep. However, students have no idea how to apply for colleges and scholarships and have to reach out to other sources for help. I would like students here to feel encouraged to do well and not just for our ACT scores to go up.

We do have a few athletes who are actually very good, but overall our sport and fitness center is bad. Our teams sometimes have trouble finding enough players to put together a team because of minimal wins. Fewer players, in turn, is a factor for minimal wins. We do not have any school spirit. Our school has possibly one pep rally a year, besides the pep band for basketball, many students do not go to the games.

I love my school because of its performing arts program. However, I feel that academically I could be better prepared. There is not a diversity in the student body or staff that could help prepare me for possible options for my future. If I had to go again, I would, but I would wish that they could bring more options for students.
