School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>2 1/29/2020This school is a way to populate, as well as the crime since 2016 has been extremely scary. Lockdowns are frightening, as well as how disgusting the school generally is. The walls are falling apart; the floor is cracking, and the choir room literally had a mouse inside of the classroom, running across. There was one in the band room as well. I do not recommend this school for people's children, but I do accept the teachers. The teachers are extremely caring and helpful. For the student body, however, things need to be safer for students.5 9/24/2016This school is pretty good, better than my old school. It may not seem very diverse, but it is accepting of different races and sexuality. It also offers a very good variety of electives, and handles extra credit well. Some of the teachers are not so great, but what can you do? This school has a lot of spirit!Review Grand Junction High School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length.
