The school is decent but it's not safe and the education really isn't too good. Most teachers let things slide, and some kids are out of control. There are many fights daily and many school threats happening each school year. Administration doesn't know how to deal with them. They have though, been updating the school, fixing the walls, ceilings and floors.

Honestly, the teachers and faculty within the school are amazing - the students itself are the main problem. There's also a lack of communication between the school and its students between extremely important things - such as graduation requirements, events, etc. The music and arts department in the school is great - but I firmly believe its underfunded. Not a lot of priority tends to go into the arts department in any form or manner.

School itself is disgusting and falling apart. The janitors don't clean, administration ignores structural problems, and teachers are required to clean there own messes. The teachers do care about there jobs mostly, but they are truly over worked and need a raise.

Teachers don’t care for their students, aswell as guidance counselor’s. I have an issue with this school on a daily basis and they never will be fixed because of the people who work there. Only well good being there is Mr Earnest.

The problem is not the students, we have good kids. They believe in encouraging each other and being a family. The administration has failed to enact proficient policies that encourage students to try their best in school. More than half of the school is failing one or more classes, those numbers me...
