I had some of the hardest times of my life at this school. Only wealthy, white, Christian athlete students are treated well. Christianity based prayer is held before all school events despite families of other faiths complaining to administration. Teachers discuss politics, religion, and sex with students in inappropriate ways. Many teachers give poor grades to students if they do not like them. Many teachers play games, watch movies, and do arts and crafts instead of instructing students on the curriculum. I have gotten chicken bones that cut my mouth open in my school lunches. The only quality lunches were the ones that you had to pay for, free lunches for low income students were hardly even food. This school never had my best interest in mind, and I sincerely believe that they will not have your child's well being in mind either.

I’ve only dealt with the school for two years but my overall opinion is a high one. I am thoroughly impressed with their academics and the way the teachers deliver the academics. Because the class sizes are so much smaller than that of other schools the kids get more one on one time with the teachers and the teachers are able to give certain students that need help more attention than they would ever get in other schools with bigger classes. This may be a low income school with mediocre test scores but it is so full of character and love that that far supersedes any state score to me. This school genuinely cares about the students.
