this school is very small, and I feel as if some of the academics at this school arnt challenging enough for the students. I have spent 2 years here and I continue to feel as if Im not being worked hard enough. There are some amazing teachers here, as well as horrible ones. the school has a very amazing talentd chorus/drama teacher but this school is so poor and lacking in money we barely have enough tools or essentials for anything for extra curricular activities. I wouldnt reccoment this school to anyone because its not the best and its just lacking a whole lot of opportunity.
