I got slammed in the face with a canned good of some kind during some crazy riot concerning racial slurs that were painted on the walls outside. Is that a run-on sentence? Hell if I know.

A cyclical public school needing more teacher training then teaching, a good example of a small unequal learning school provided. Students cheat intensively, faculty are blind to the real truth, math department in terrible, student's creativity, and imagination is both insulted by who the upper people say they know what everything is. Hopefully better faculty, as well as community can provide a better school, Ellison isnt the only one in the nation.

This school has confidentiality issues the release name of students whom anomalously wrote statements in fear of being hurt by another student this is the worst High School in America that I've been to and I believe it needs to be shut down
