| 5 I give this a 5 because people think this school is for white people but it is nice I am mixed with pordricon and black and no one is mean that I am haff black staff are nice but they will get mad if you won't stop talking or talking back the kids there are so nice and am one of them if you come here I will be your first friend because all the people that were new I made friends with them and me and that girl were friends forever we even have bff neckless. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Tahjae |
| 1 Student/Teacher is actually 20:1. Though student population is diverse, the staff is not. The campus is not culturally sensitive to non-white population. I do not like this new way of teaching students. They have a low tolerance for children who are non-white. If you send your child here, please monitor and make your presence known. - Posted by Parent - Concerned Parent |
