The administration needs to get their act together! I have witnessed a consistent theme of unfairness towards particular groups of students. I am disappointed and it must be stopped!

The academic programs themselves in this school are quite fine. But only that of what you would expect a basic school to have. No availability of many sports and no electives. Some academic awards are presented to the students though. But the facilities are horrible. It is a run down over populated school. Just terrible. This site should also update because the races in this school have greatly changed. But as far as I am concerned it is a terrible school.
