Teachers are terrible, & nasty. Some are even unqualified to teach. Levy's have NOT passed, so there are NO elective classes. Sports are pay-to-play & take an arm and a leg to just sit on the bench all season. HIGH drop out/transfer rate. Disgusting School. The DEAN OF STUDENTS cant even drink because he has too many DUI's
