  Most teachers know their material well. There is no bullying here, which is surprising. There's a lot of favoritism in the school, teachers and students dont hold back on spreading rumors of anyone, you're just always a target. Im very popular, well known, and liked, and i still get my name dragges through dirt. The schedules are messed up always, they usually have class from 8 to 4 which is a lot of time, every other school is 8 to 2. The schedules seriously cut time off your day, and they give too much homework. Also, youre just supposed to know you have homework, they dont announce it out loud, and the websites dont help. Its very overpopulated, and the school is always asking for money, it makes me wonder where the money goes to since trips are seldom, the school doesnt own any text books, the building has never improved, and if anything, there's still a need for supplies. The guidance counselors would never help you, unless it's convenient to them, they don't wanna bother with paper work, and if you tell them this very sentence, they would deny it and say that they care about you and all the students, almost sounding like they're told to say it. The deans seem inexperienced, they give unreasonable punishments. A tip to get away with trouble is put your own number and email for everything, since the school always has a reason to email and call, it's just a bunch of fundraiser advertisements. The teachers arent the best to have a conversation with, probably the worst actually, they just blurt everything to the next teacher. It's not the worst high school, but its very far from the best. Overall, the school is corrupt and is too late to fix, in fact, i think it was broken to begin with. Friendly people, but there's no way you'll go home feeling comfortable with everyone you saw that day, lots of students would hate you for anything, but some would be friendly to your regardless of who you are. Should you go to this school? If i knew how it was before i applied, i wouldnt of gone. Im sure there are better schools that you could go to, but it's definitely not the worst school.
