A beyond terrible school that seeks to destroy any individualism your child has and forces them to conform to a braindead student body.

This school is wonderful all around. It has a wide variety of programs such as offering a variety of AP classes, a strong sports program, and a strong music and drama program. It has wonderful facilities and is located in a great community with strong parental involvement.
