This school is absolutely AMAZING!! I cannot find one thing bad to say about this school. The atmosphere is great. My daughter says she loves it here and there is no better place for her to be during the school day. She is president of her senior class of about 1,300 students. AGAIN, great school. GO TIGERS!!!!!

While the performing arts are great and the football team has gotten better over the years, that's all the school seems to care about. The academics are sub-par, and the overcrowding has gotten out of control. The class size I graduated with in 2016 was around 1,300 students. My average class size for a normal classroom was around 25 students with every desk full. The teachers try their best with what they are given, but it's not enough.
