  • Reviewed by Former Student on November 05, 2006
  • Rating: 5 (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
  • The school itself isn't bad. The teachers tend to be very helpful and friendly. Many of the other faculty are as well. The new principal may be a little harder to like since he came in with very different and strict ideas. The dress code is just short of a school uniform and sharpies are forbidden. The school's a bit overpopulated and getting places between classes can take the full ten minutes you're given. The cafeteria food could use improvement, but most cafeterias are like that. The elective and arts courses are quite varied, giving the students plenty to choose from outside the core required classes.
