(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - it is a great school. Kids will either love it or hate it because they are very strict yet it is truee they have a lot of fun most kids enjoy it alot but the strictness annoys them but oh well its part of what makes it such a great school.

- I used to go to this school and I loved it there. Yes there were bad things there but there were a lot of fun activities and people there. My best friend still goes to that school and the budget problems have caused a lot of cancellations but I had a lot of fun there and will go back in a heartbeat.

- I have never been to this school. I used to go to brownsville middle school. But I have decided to now try a better school, that's not so unsafe, you know what I mean. So this school seems decent, I like the school colors and I think that I will be a great school to attend!
