Literally the single worst school in Oklahoma. Big violence problem, not to mention the lack of action towards bullying and harassment. I also was unfortunately one of the students who had to endure the many problems with the bus lines and such. 3 bus routes worth of sweaty teens packed tightly into ONE bus, which made it nearly impossible to fit. Not to mention sometimes the bus just would not be there. The amount of times I had to have my mom get off of work just to pick me up is RIDICULOUS. And thanks to the school's complete disregard for mental health, I ended up almost getting hospitalized. And yes, I blame the school, because as soon as I got up and out of that hell pit, I was doing MUCH better. So here's a little bit of advice, parents: Don't let your kids go here. NO MATTER WHAT.

They don't respect anything but their football and basketball team.

This is easily the worst school I have ever been to in Oklahoma. I'm a senior at this school - or rather, I WAS. I was removed from the system for too many absences and now I'm being enrolled into online homeschooling. Neither me or my mother were made aware of this change. Not only is communication with parents and students horrible, but the school itself is an absolute joke. The bullying and fighting problems this school has is so extremely prominent with barely anything being done to combat them. The most that's been done is completely separating the freshman at lunch - which obviously hasn't worked because fights still happen regularly. Most of these fights even end with blood being shed and a teenager getting arrested. The majority of the teachers do nothing to help students and are often just outright rude to them. With a few exceptions, they barely do anything to actually teach or provide guidance. The school makes itself seem like a place accepting of all minorities, but homophobia, transphobia, and racism are all extremely common, even for the staff. Trying to navigate this school is an utter nightmare with a confusing layout and being extremely overcrowded. Students are disrespectful to teachers who've done nothing wrong. The school's idea of credit recovery for students falling behind is absolutely laughable for how ineffective and unnecessarily stressful it is. The school itself is VERY dirty - the bathrooms are covered in graffiti, the floors are coated in dirt and grime, dead bugs line the windows of some classrooms (there was a HUGE bug problem in one of the hallways at one point - there were insect corpses absolutely everywhere). Overall, this school is the definition of a last resort, and I would not recommend sending your kids here if you have the option to.
