I think this school does need some help, but they do have a class that all seniors have to take and pass in order for them to graduate. If they don't pass it they wont graduate!!!! Its very tough for seniors at this school

AP programs are horrible. math and science department needs lots of help, mainly because they dumb it down for most of the students. it really holds back the students that have potential. Does not leave students well prepared for college. other than that, its a good environment with great people..

When a school only offers 4 AP classes. you know its horrible. when everyone in those 4 AP classes get a 1 on the exam, that just shows no quality in teachers. The teachers need to pick it up

This school should get more activities and enforce confidentiality within staff regarding students. Teachers need more professional training. Favoritism is practiced a lot in this school.
