This school has an outstanding Arts program, but its greatest downfall is the teachers. The teachers here do not perform their job properly. Teachers are fired every quarter and leaves students to fend for themselves as they are constantly tested. The best teachers are fired for the most idiotic reasons that have the students mad and bitter. They hire the most petty teachers which give the kids constant headaches and test their patience. I have been attending this school for more than 6 years and I have to say I am ecstatic to graduate and finally leave.
