- This is a terrible school!
Teacher's,Principal,Staff,everything is just AWFUL!Too much fights!Teachers are not really involved or anything.You may not get much or no homework what so ever - which may seem like a plus but,you really don't learn ANYTHING.Some students act like little (...) who think they are 'the (...)'.Some are even doing drugs and are having (...) in bathrooms,kissing,cursin.Overall:
DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SCHOOL!
