School Reviews
| 2 a. No AP classes. Block (4x4) scheduling, which has been proven a failure before the school adopted it.
b. Average extracurricular availability. No orchestra, just marching and concert band and choir.
c. Janitors are untrustworthy and have stolen expensive earphones from computer labs and money from teachers' lounge. - Posted by Student/Alumni - nowgi |
