School Reviews
3   4/21/2020
The academics at this school used to be great until they made a bunch of unnecessary changes like getting rid of advanced classes; now kids really don't care about school at all. The school itself is very old, and the hallways are very overcrowded. However, this school isn't all bad, there are plenty of extracurricular activities to choose from, and our Brain Bowl team made it to the finals twice.
