We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The culture at my school is on a slow upturn thanks to my "Glowing Tunnel Party" I held in our bus tunnel. Since I have been here, the culture has been dark, gloomy, and boring, so I took it into my own hands and held a school-sponsored party to help our school culture be revived. I feel that with more fun events like this, the school could be an environment where students look forward to being in.

The school needs more parent involvement. There are a handful of parents that help with things but they can only do so much. The staff is a mix of teachers but there are a few that that go above and beyond to help with anything they can. Sports are all over the place, they are very strong in some and not so much in others. I feel that participation has dropped over the 4 yrs that I attended.

The school overall wasn't the best as most of the students struggled to take their education seriously and the teachers and staffed struggled to control that.

Schools face extremely diverse studen...
