A. Academic Programs, average at best. Teachers only care about a pay check and a liberal agenda.
B. Sports, Art, Music and Sports programs above average. World class music program.
C. Academic and Athletic awards. No comment yet.
D. Facilities. POOR, DUMPY, OLD!!! A can of paint goes a long way! The place just plain smells!
E. Parent involvement falls on Def ears with the staff. If you are not below the poverty line, gay, or a minority, you will not get help here. Not stirring up trouble, just fact!
