this school is amazing i find myself more challenged to learn. even though there are a lot of bad things happened but we definitely pulled through it

this is a horrid school way behind curriculum. we do not learn enough in time for the state wide testing and when we take the test parts of it we are clueless. the teachers are unsatisfactory and the school is unbelievably out of code. there are cockroaches and if there was a fire we wouldn't get out in time due to the schools "over-packing". so if u have a choice: stay as far away from this school as possible!!!
