This school has a lot of problems that honestly need to be fixed. There’s a big issue with bullying and people trying to act tough for no reason, and it makes it hard to just go through the day without getting messed with. There’s also people smoking and doing drugs, which just makes everything worse.The building itself looks really run down. The bathrooms are probably the worst part. In the upper commons bathroom, like 5 stall doors are missing and almost all the soap dispensers are empty except maybe one or two. In the lower commons, there’s literally a urinal missing, a sink missing, and the mirrors are gone too. Both bathrooms have graffiti all over the stalls, and there’s even poop and pee on the walls sometimes, so you can’t even use the bathroom in peace.The classrooms look super old, like they haven’t been updated since the early 2000s. Some teachers are cool and actually try, but most don’t really seem to care that much.There’s also little bugs around sometimes, which isn’t the worst thing but still not great. The cafeteria is kinda nasty too. I’ve seen stuff like hair in the food, and students messing with the food like spitting in it or sticking their fingers in it, which is just disgusting.Overall, the admins don’t really do anything about these problems, and it feels like they just ignore it. I really wish they would fix these issues because it makes the school a bad place to be.

As a semi recent graduate, I loved the school. It pushed me to be more passionate about my own education and prepared me well for college. This school gives you the opportunity to be involved at a higher level of education. I could dual enroll and take AP classes that pushed me to pursue higher education. One thing I would have liked is more funding in extracurriculars.
