School Reviews
2 1/25/2011
Athletics department is very limited. Only a few sports options, with mediocre coaches.
Academics are pretty poor, with very little option for electives or in school extra curricular activity, barely any art programs, with more getting cut each year, meager music programs.
Parents have hardly any involvement with the school whatsoever.
The Principal is very inappropriate at times, and does a horrible job at managing the students.
The building itself is very claustrophobic in many places, and in someone poor condition.
And very few of the teachers care about their jobs, so learning is very difficult.
