(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - diverse population? How so? The student body is made up of entirely African-American students. The school is wonderful. Made up almost entirely of positive, hard-working teachers, but the leadership is a FAIL! Horrible, short-sighted, lazy, just awful human beings. It's a wonder there are any staff members still there!
