well, seeing that I am attending this school, I think I should put my two cents in. Most of the teachers are reasonable. Bathrooms? Seriously need to be fixed...not really fond of keeping the door closed with my foot. Food is pretty much terrible...but that's kind of typical. Basicly, it could be far better.

This school is amazing! There are so many highly qualified staff working wonders with such a diverse, multi-cultural student body. The kids seem to know and appreciate this and give back to the school and community in so many ways! What a treat to work with these young adults and colleagues.
