- This school is a piece of crap. It isn't good at all. They lie to you over and over again and they don't care about the students. They don't do their jobs and if they do their jobs, they do it incorrectly.

- very few teachers care about the students and if they learn or not , just the other day while i was in class a teacher said "i dont care if you learn this material or not , im still getting my paychech ." why work in a school if you dont want to help us .

- I don't know about now but wen i was there from 91-94 it was also garbage. teachers also did not give a damn. i had one teacher read the newspaper during the whole period and another used to mark me in then let me leave. it was like a big hang out. maybe this was the reason i dropped out? if i had stronger mentors maybe it would ave been different.
