Drug use is ridiculous. There is a scent of weed in the bathroom about 75% of the time I go in there. It doesn't matter how good their sports, parent involvement, OR facilities are when the majority of the kids there would rather get high than get an education. I think I should be able to use a bathroom without worrying about someone doing drugs.
