In this High School, a major problem is the smoking and drugs. Like in every other high school, this one is full of drugs and people smoke a lot of weed in the bathrooms. The campus isn't very safe either as there has been reoccurring issues with guns being present in campus by other students.

I have had varying experiences with different staff. One experience I had a higher up in the office accuse me of stealing and breaking a phone with zero evidence. While another experience with a coach that I really respect and admire who has done a lot of good that was very positive.
3/6/2024
Overall pretty good, with a diverse student body. A good variety of classes to take and extracurriculars to be apart of.

If your kid can tolerate bullying and feeling excluded, send your kid here. Some teachers seem to just be there for a paycheck. Teachers don't care about someone getting picked on. The AP courses are good, but the school does a poor job of helping students that may not have as great study habits as...

Unfortunately, my child’s first year at this school wasn’t a good experience. I am disappointed in the lack of communication and assistance from the teacher and office staff, I would mark this school very low.
