Many students end up with first lunch one day and second lunch the next. Furthermore, the focus on test scores in core subjects has led to a complete lack of vocational classes. This district's focus on college prep leaves no options for the vast majority of students who don't go on to a four-year institution. Read less

This high school has major overcrowding issues. The school has had to double security. Traffic is really bad, thank goodness my kid walks. They do have an excellent AP program, AVID (to get kids college bound), CAMP (art prog.), ROTC & sports. The teachers really do the best they can under the circumstances.

If your child is self-sufficient, confident, intelligent, and can stay out of trouble, they will grow and do very well. If your child has half these qualities, they will be just fine. Read less
