School Reviews
| 1 The high school doesn't care about the students at all. Cares more about getting students in trouble than the school having heat in the middle of winter. Definitely don't recommend this school and they should really improve their ways of interacting with their students. Overall, their performance is very disappointing. - Posted by Student/Alumni - . |
| 2 They get rid of good coaches/teachers. Admin lies to board. very political - Posted by Parent - jjjj4 |
