(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Academically it is ok, but the drugs and cliques are terrible. Kids come to school stoned and teachers look the other way. It is easier to buy drugs there than lunch. Something needs to be done! Kids are having relations on the dance floor at dances and come there high also.
