It’s good to see that even though it’s been years since a review has been made things are exactly the same as the other times when reviews were last done. Administration is careless and harsh on the people who get picked on all the while the bullies get lighter discipline or no discipline at all. Th

Terrible. The staff here does not even care about what happens. People get bullied because of their race and sexuality. If you don’t act a certain way you are not “popular”. The lunch is terrible, they don’t even try to make good food. The principals are way too strict. The cell phone policy is not

This school is ok so far, but I don't know why they send the kids home with coupon books to sell instead of things like candy bars, candles, etc. They use to send stuff like that. It's like they are to cheap to do it now. They expect us parents to buy a bunch of coupon books that don't even have really any good coupons in it. I would buy a lot more if it was things like the candles, candy bars, etc. And so would many more people. I just wanted to put it out there what we the people would like to spend our hard earned money on for the school. Thank you.
