The most horrible school I have ever delt with! The school is nothing but fist fighting and bully girls. SOME of the adults gossip like they are students and do not act like they care if students succed or fail. (minus a few good ones)Horrible curriculum not to mention no buses!! They mark the students absent when late more than 4 times and fail them if they do not get a C on the final exam. They do not even have there own books. They need more than 1 cop in this place.

The schools not in the best shape, its better then others, but we need to stay possitive. We have great sports, AMAZING SPIRIT, friends, and the teachers aint all that bad. Love your school, stop the talking smack.

The school is not that terrible. The halls are crowded, and there is a lot of fights and drug use in the school.

I dont know why all these people say things like this when its not true, i went to this school like 3 years ago and it was the greatest thing i met alot of friends, and why people say its dirty and everything you should go to Detroit, that place is like friggin' hideous and schools are the worst i say this cause i used to live there and its ugly,

Where should I start... I recommend this school to no one. The school it self is horribly dirty and gross. For instance, there is holes in the ceiling that often leak and leaves puddles of water on the ground and seeps into the carpet, not to mention the various molds that are a common sight to see. Nothing ever gets clean in this school, when theres cases of pom\cheerleaders getting Ringworm from the carpet, you know this is a putrid place to be. Staff, teachers, education, every thing from bus's to the attendance policy are just awful, I cant strain this any more enough. How are you suppose to learn when 90% of the books are from 1970 and are missing the covers and most of there pages, its a joke, but no one's laughing. Honesly, I can't put in to words how horrendous this school is, its only getting worse.
