The annex is horrible. A few of the teachers in the annex are extremely inconsiderate and indifferent towards their students. Advocating for yourself in this school is impossible. Some interactions can feel discouraging, and at times it feels difficult for students to advocate for themselves without fearing academic consequences from their teachers. At times, it feels as if advocating for yourself can negatively affect the way certain teachers treat you or grade you. Additionally, the workload is rigorous, which is expected from a rigorous school, but when stacked on top of endless exams it gets tremendously difficult to keep up. Furthermore, there is no culture in the annex building, as there are absolutely NO events happening other than a few dress down days once in a while. Constant exams, homework, and yelling create a recipe for absolute misery. A rigorous school environment means absolutely nothing if students feel constantly stressed and unheard from their teachers.

The looks of this school are very much deceiving. The Principal and some teachers are not as patient and understanding with special needs students. They are quick to send them home rather than addressing the child's needs properly. There is much lack of professionalism and support while working with special needs students. As a parent this school was the biggest headache endured while my child attended until finally being removed. Working with children overall should be about patience and compassion or you are clearly in the wrong field.

Great school and I got the chance to meet with cool people and have great classes

The school is great. Everybody is really nice. It's really nice to make friends with other people there. The security guard are also really nice. The teachers are really willing to teach you.

the best high school and that it prepares you for the future.
