very low parent involvement. good availability of extra curricular activities. Bad administration. Few good kids who have to deal with large number of bad kids who have no desire to better themselves

This school would rather get rid of their kids then find a way to help them. The administration is just there to collect a paycheck instead of teaching these kids the right thing to do. I would think twice before enrolling your child in this school.

As a teen who used to go to this school. I just want to say I loved the fights. They were so entertaining. The school food was Removed though. The teachers not giving a Removed was great, but then again they didn't give a Removed but gave us a Removed ton of homework. But I do think they should get the students help like damn stop suspending us and giving us is that ain't going to fix anything. When I was there, they also treated the kids with disabilities pretty badly like damn.
