This school isn't all that great, I will be honest! I've been going for 3 years now, and students aren't prioritized at all! Staff and counselors don't care about the students all that much! It's pretty dirty too!

Little to no bullying. Well behaved students.

Educators treat children poorly and encourage hatred among the student population. The elitist behavior and recruiting is unacceptable in public education.
