This is by far the worst school I've ever went to. Even though they might have all the technology like smart boards in every room doesn't mean this is a great school.(half the teachers don't even know how to use them). The principal is very rude as long as Mr.Jolley. They really don't care about the students needs at all. Some not all teachers are very rude. They don't know how to handle race issue as there are a lot of them. There is nothing fun to do at this school. No whole student body assemblies , fun days ,or anything. They're always trying to find a way for students to pay more money for useless things. The bathrooms STINK ! I came as a freshman last year and I can honestly say this school is very HORRIBLE. I would never reccommend this school to anyone.
