  • This school is the worst! The teachers threaten students. Students fight,threaten,and humiliate each other. There is constant chaos. Recess is only ten minutes long. For some reason detention is longer than recess. The staff are not friendly people. They are threatening and can be verbally abusive. There are usually about 600 students in this school yearly and not enough room at all!There are usually about 150 students on the small playground at recess. So everyone gets hurt. I even twisted my ankle at school. To me there are no good things about this school. I know for a fact that most of the people in this school agree. I do not recommend this school to anyone!
