This school is racist, The kids that get the attention is the rich/popular kids not the smart kids. The 7th grade kids don't get a full lunch due to they being the last ones to eat. As a seventh-grade student, I would like to change that and the grading system. PERIODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!

There is no art.
Teachers are good.
The sports teams are fixed,you won't make it unless you have older siblings that went there,you're popular, or have a parent that works at the school.
