(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is a straight joke, starting from the principal on down to the staff and teachers... They don't care what these kids do, there's always fights at the school and the whole class gets expelled... I think they don't know how to control the kids and basically don't want to be there. There is one teacher who tells us straight from the get go that he can"t control the kids and will call parents at any giving time. They also show favoritism towards some kids. I will be making a report with the school district regarding this poor behavior school. They do not follow-up with incidents that go on at the school. The principal does not even return calls just all around rude.

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - It is a really tough school for me, more because I got in so many fights. Well what do you expect I'm a fat white kid and that spells beat me up, but a lot of people stopped messing with me once they found out my mom owns a boxing gym and found out that I've been boxing since I could talk. While the fights kept coming it was a good school.
