(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The school is getting worse every year, first semester of this year 34 fights happend and gang tags are all over the bathrooms. THe school is getting very violent and in my opinion it is the gangs that are ruining it all. This school busses people from the state fair grounds and people from the east side coming to this school. Two different sides of indianapolis coming together is never good. There is a variety of gang invlovement at this school. I do not recomend this school.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The school district has really gotten a lot worse since I first started eleven years ago. There was a fight the second day of school, and two one day last week. It is becoming more and more violent with a not-so-great academic record. Maybe if it was four or five years ago I would think differently.
