Well im a former student and i have to say that this school is great. Some may say that the school is bad but, the teachers are great an it it sometimes the students who tend to make the school seem bad. My 3 years were great and graduted with honors and still had fun!

The students in 6th grade are wonderful and i think they all should time together. they should spend time with eachother when 1st, 2nd, 3rd period is starting you know they should have gym that time. And i'm a student who still goes their and i'm in 6th grade and i want to spend time with my friends. And i will still pass my classes if i'm with my friends. So you should do that for all the grades.
