I love this school so much. ever since I transferred here I have been enthralled with the amount of diversity and support. CRA has a great support system, its incredibly hard to feel alone. The admin listen to the students, and there are plenty of after school activities to take part in.

I will say, however, that diversity is one of the school's best accomplishments, along with the food and the college courses.

It still needs some improving but Learning and the Teachers a...
