School Reviews
| 1 Large majority of students are stoners, Administration is rude, and random bag searches happen all the time if you are suspected of anything by the administration. There is also excessive vaping at amity and racism and antisemitism so I don't recommend it AT ALL. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Anonymous |
