The quality of academic programs here are nice. The availability of music...well i have to say their isnt alot. All they have for music class is just band. They use to have beginners guitar, but they took it out. I dont like it personally because they dont have a lot of good electives. The art class is actually pretty awesome. Sports are great to. The academic awards are actually pretty nice. The athletic awards well I think the coaches just buy them. The school needs to buy them not the coaches. The facilities well what can i say. Its tagged all the way. The desks are tagged up. The benches are tagged up. I just think this school needs to do a better job on the facilities. I put NO on Will you recommened this school? because i personally think its just a no school for me. They just need to put more electives out their, but i can see they take out electives because of the teachers getting laid off of work, but the school should try putting more electives. Thank you for reading my post.
