My experience at this school is pretty bad, the safety of the students only matter if they are having fun, All the students do is sit at desks and learn things that they don’t remember after the class, if they aren’t the principal will tell them to go back to class even if they are allowed to be outside of class at that moment. I know multiple students who have been harassed at this school and the teachers and staff blame the student getting harassed this is not ok and the school should learn better then turn a blind eye, overall this school should do better in making the kids feel safe, welcomed, and for the students to have fun.

The school has much improved in recent years. The change in the principal has been a very positive change. Principal Mapes cares about the the students and wears it on his sleeve. Teachers and staff have done a much better job of building a positive environment for students, so there has been an increase in student learning and a decrease in fights and behavior problems. The school is very diverse, and they offer a great selection of elective classes, including tech, music, culinary arts, two languages, and leadership. The quality of teachers has also improved in recent years. It is definitely a school making a big turnaround.

This school was doomed from the beginning. The teachers don't know how to teach and can't canter to students needs. The kids there are horrible and the school is disgusting. Always having a rat or bug infestation. There's also mold growing inside the walls that you can sometimes smell. None of the staff take anything seriously and should not have a job in administration.
