This school is fun to attend although the teachers can be a little strict, and that is one of my pet peeves. I can still learn without the teachers being so strict and harsh. In my defense we are children and we have a lot of energy that NEEDS to be let out. (we have a LOT more energy than y'all think) Also the clothing that we HAVE to wear is outrageous. Why can't we just wear regular cloths? Anyway this school is decent to be at but that's life, You have to deal with the difficult things.

I've had 2 students attend this school. First entered high school ill prepared. Now my 2nd has gone from an A/B student to struggle due to constant bullying. Help was sought from the principal and staff but nothing was done to resolve the issue. Some teachers are known to cuss during class. Seemed like a good school at first; little effort seems to be made to help kids that fall behind.
