Great school! Newsweek's Top 4%! Great test results and great teachers! Producing great students who leave with the education to be successful in the future

Arrogant administration with little control. They are too focused on state tests and not on actually teaching the students useful information.

Crowded school with barely any control over students. Students have horrible manners
