The only things this school is good at is being racist, sexist and homophobic. Teachers are more interested in making sure the students they don't like don't succeed then actually teaching their students. The community is small and close minded so if you are not their perfect white cisgender straight american born person then you are not someone worth their time. Go somewhere else, anywhere else.
