What is think is the school is meh this doesn't have to change your thoughts but I do agree on the favoritism and some punishments can be harsh and the security can be low like at the beginning of school there but before breaks of Xmas etc, someone popped a carton of juice they got pulled hard they tried to stick up for someone then they said GO! in a rush then did the same thing racistem can be like here and there some teachers even cuss apparently some do get breaks for fun for no reason not emotionally depressed or sensitive nothing so it's meh you chose learning is not Harvard but it's okay the have higher students with lower in partnership so in all okay to not the best

"the biggest issue I see is that there are lots, I mean LOTS of stay dogs around this area. there are also another of busy or main roads so that could be a issue if you don't have a fence or a kennel. other dog owners in this area are also not good about picking up after their dogs. on the bright side there are some walking trails and parks in the area.

"This neighborhood is on a dead-end street with a cul-de-sac, so there is no traffic. It is very quiet and peaceful. Some of the neighbors have lived here 20 or 30 years. They are very nice people."
