Many of the reviews for this school are outdated, so I wanted to share my own experience. This school had its good and bad sides. There were mild bug infestations, and many of the classrooms were old and unclean. The students often misbehaved, and the overall environment felt chaotic. As a member of the Class of 2024, I was deeply disappointed, especially with the outdated technology, which fell far behind that of other schools. Teachers seemed indifferent, often sitting back while students acted out. It was common for students to vape in the bathrooms and smear wet paper on mirrors and floors. The cafeteria started off decent but became dirty and poorly maintained. I also noticed instances of favoritism, particularly towards female students, which felt unfair to the boys. There were no extracurricular activities or programs offered during school, which made it feel lacking in opportunities. Despite these issues, I give the school three stars solely because of one outstanding teacher I had in both 7th and 8th grade, whose name I won’t mention.

my school is a good school and they try to pay really good attention in there students education but i think they shouldn't have crazy deans in the school, and i think the common core standards should go because its to difficult for the kids and its not a good idea. Let this come true
