Great school, typical suburban white high school. Nothing to really complain as the teachers are good sports and activities are solid, and the school is run well.

Absolutely disgusted with this school. They do not know how to handle bullying even with solid evidence. They punish the victim as if being harassed by other students isn't enough. This school is a joke
