Okay, no offense, but this school has so much drama and fights and stuff like that, that I don't want my sister to go here next year. This school is horrible... and it always stinks like rotten eggs: [the good things about this school include: Mrs. Terrazas, the other teachers, the staff, the principle, and lunch. Even though it always smells like rotten eggs and all the drama and fights, Courtney Cobras always come back.
