Students get away with terrible behavior because they are (supposedly) gifted and are given free rein. Majority are special needs. Teachers of varying abilities come and go. High employee turnover. Academics not emphasized. Facilities desperately need updating. No green space. No cafeteria. No teacher lounge.
