Student discepline is a major issue, and i don't suggest attending if you doin't want to see the rumps of every 'gangsta' in the school. Severall times I had to belive that scedules were created by throwing darts at a wall with all the classes on it. I was enrolled in back-to-back Team sports instead of Spanish III or any of the arts, two classes I both wanted and needed. Not the best school, but it works... usually. Read less

I think this school doesnt really care about the students. The comment below is actually correct. They placed me in classes I dont want or need, and the test scores for the GHSGT are terrible. If you are able to, send your child to another school.

This is an awful school. The leadership at the school is poor and are generally disliked. Do not send your child to this school. If you doubt this review, visit the campus and view the chaos b/w lunch, class chance, ect... You will see a disorganized and poorly run campus.
