Wealthy school. Unless your child is an academic or athletic prodigy, your child will be educated in a large, impersonal college style campus. Limited communication with teachers, overwhelming class sizes. Lots of wealthy kids who cyber bully and host drug parties in mansions. If you are an average American family that has a 2 working parents, be prepared to sell your soul to the school on your free time if you want your child to have any type of opportunities. This school is the epitome of TV high schools, where the stay at home moms, or the wealthy families have the means and deeply rooted community connections to allow their child to maximize what this district provides. No one will help you or guide you unless you have an IN with the administration, the PTA, an athletic booster club, or just know the right people. Lots of racial segregation in the community. Asians stick with Asians, Caucasians stick with Caucasians and all minorities of darker color stick with them selves as well. On top of a racially divided school, within that, you have social-economical segregation where the wealthy and popular stick with each other and take all the opportunities away from the less fortunate. The school allows this to happen because the "Real housewives of CV" know what's going on all the times (even before public announcements and enrollments are available) and push their kids into these programs/extra curriculars, where as a low middle class kid doesn't have that support and ends up not being able to participate because the selections were already pre-rigged. I have 2 alumni and 2 current and I truly wish I would have chosen a smaller, socially level and educationally intimate environment for our "in the middle, average" children.

There is too many bullies, too many fights, and no teacher or principal ever takes care of the fights.
