School Reviews

Been here for almost 3 years and most teachers never actually send anyone to the office or punish them. Massive vaping problem, almost constant in the bathrooms and in classrooms. Little to no punishment for not serving the few punishments they actually give out.

I have been going to this school for 3 years and all i have to say is that most of the teachers have trouble disciplining their students, there are students smoking in the bathrooms as well as in the classrooms, and there is an overall bullying problem
