  • This is a fairly good school. The teachers are great. Some students tend to behave like animals though. At least the gang problem gradually vanished, and there isn't as much drug flow like there was in 05-06. One major complaint I have, however, is the nurses!
    They are extremely rude. I don't think people that obnoxious should have a job, especially not at such a good school. The principals have been changing recently, but I never had a complaint against them. It's certain vice-principals that get to me, but I won't say names.
