School Reviews
| 5 This school is great I love it here but sports can be a little unfair it's still an awesome school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - jack |
| 1 This school is racist, The kids that get the attention is the rich/popular kids not the smart kids. The 7th grade kids don't get a full lunch due to they being the last ones to eat. As a seventh-grade student, I would like to change that and the grading system. PERIODDDDDDDDD!!!!!! - Posted by Student/Alumni - Zizzle |

| 2 There is no art.
Teachers are good.
The sports teams are fixed,you won't make it unless you have older siblings that went there,you're popular, or have a parent that works at the school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - hotpi |
