As your average student, the experience isn't half bad this school has a wonderful shop program and great teachers.

Through out my entire career and the following years when the school was attended by my sibling the administration systematically ran out every teacher I respected. By the end of my sibling's attendance, the math teacher who changed my life was in tears of frustration, and ultimately transferred, there were no longer courses in economics, Latin or philosophy being taught, and they were drugged testing children without their parents consent. I found the administration unwilling to protect the rights of students and unable to provide a consistent, challenging scholastic environment.
