Like others have said, the school has a negative reputation, not great overall test scores, an overcrowded high school, etc. However, the diversity of students, class offerings, IB program, college courses, performing arts program, extra-curricular activities, after school clubs, etc., make this school a wonderful choice. If your student puts in the effort and work, they will easily succeed. The district has made a lot of changes over the years and continues to fight for funding and opportunities for the students. The teachers work hard to ensure the success of their students, and there is additional help (tutoring, after school assistance, review groups for upcoming exams, virtual help from teachers, etc.) for the students to take advantage of.

This school is disgusting and crazy, if your giving this school a five star you’re very much wrong. My child told me that a student threw a chair at a teacher. The teachers completely ignore threats unless there told by smarter children or are suicidal threats. Some teachers explain things in the worst way possible. If you think this school is nice, your child is lying.

I wouldn’t recommend this school for your child, the school has a problem with vaping, below average performances, and the students that go here are really rude. I wouldn’t recommend
