(Rating: 2 / 5) Report As Inappropriate 
- they make it seem like it's this perfect educated school. I wish it was but there are a lot of drugs, and there are students who feel like they need to be tough to make a name for themselves

(Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - Why are there some many drugs and what are they doing about it???
- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on February 25, 2010 (Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- still in process of decision--but how can school be rated so many apples and then sited for drugs--then flagged inappropriate--I personally feel there needs to be more encouragement and rally for acedemics to entice and enlighten those on the out skirts to become passionate about school life-
