I am a current student here and I have to say my experiences have varied from really good to really bad. Those bathrooms are disgusting and kids don’t treat it well at all. The worst part is we have two urinals in each bathroom and no dividers between them. The amount of disruptions in my classes are countless, and the teachers don’t do anything about in terms of keeping the class silent for even a minute. The only solution is to switch classes and that rarely happens. What I will say is the teachers are very devoted and kind but the system of teaching is really outdated and needs a revamp in terms of punishments and teaching methods. What school needs to understand I don’t like math and it’s not interesting to me. so don’t get surprised when I fail a test, it’s not a fact that I’m not a hard worker look at my other high grads but the fact that a single test in a subject that I hate can stop me from getting honors is baffling. It’s not a bad school don’t get me wrong, it just has some flaws that aren’t getting fixed. Don’t even get me started on diversity but that isn’t entirely the schools fault.

This school lacks effort, initiative, and accountability. When it comes to providing an education, the focus often seems to be on checking boxes and meeting minimum requirements rather than ensuring students receive the attention and support they deserve.Increasing the budget alone will not solve these issues. Meaningful improvement requires accountability, higher standards, and a commitment to student success. That applies both to the school's financial decisions and to the expectations placed on its educators and staff.If you're looking for a school that prioritizes communication, addresses parent concerns, and treats your child's education as a top priority, this school as it is today would not be the right fit.
