Wayyy too big of a school. If you need extra help with learning they can't help you. They only look after the people that have a lot of money or are on honor roll. If you struggle you get put in the lowest classes where no one wants to learn. You give up at that point. The bullying here too is ridiculous. They're all about non bullying but it happens constantly. Their sports programs are rigged too, they pre pick who they want on their team or again the people with the money. Even if you try out and do a damn good job. My brother was an AMAZING soccer player,could of been pro but they already had their team picked out, he didn't get in. I will NEVER have my kids go through this school district. So many people rave about this school.if they only knew. I had a few good teachers and that was a plus. My favorite teacher was Mr. Pelow. He saw my potential and it was the first time I felt confident and I felt like I was able to work hard to learnthe next year after having him I was in a higher class. I will thank you Mr pelow for the rest of my life. I got on honor roll my senior year because he gave me confidence.
Wish I could give it 0 stars.
Great school. Make lots of good life long friends. Education can be troublesome learning wise with a few teachers, but otherwise great. Bullying is an issue and I had to do something about it myself. The teachers here don't really help in that manner. But I remember more good things about this school than I do bad. :)
Great education and staff. As others have noted it has your typical high school problems.
In my opinion, this school is pretty good education-wise, and there are many clubs and activities that you can do here. There are many teachers, guidance counselors, and other staff members that you can trust.
But, it's mainly the students that go here that tend to ruin the experience. Some of them tend to be very disrespectful towards each other, and this is bad especially in the 9th grade hall. Being a 9th grader myself, I used to walk through the halls, and there are people who constantly yell at each other, who shove each other into lockers, and who block the hallways.
Even though there are some things that I particularly don't like, this school isn't so bad to be in.
If your a honor student this is a great school, tons of opportunities for you post-high school but if you are a person with a learning disability and want to go on to college, they do a poor job of preparing you for college, you also will tend to fall through the cracks during you career at this school, the teachers care but the administration staff is only focused on standardized test scores and only pays attention to the students who do well on the tests. I was a learning support student and I feel that the school failed me. It's a shame that it happened but it did.
