This school has a lot of potential, but has many flaws, that no one seems to try to fix. There's a lack of communication between schools, and even between teachers and administration in the same school. Stressful situations aren't dealt with in any kind of orderly fashion. Administration can almost never be found. Positive attitudes are hard to find, throughout students and faculty. Not all faculty is quality, and nothing is done to replace obviously unacceptable faculty. Teachers as well as students have negative attitudes all the way around, due to the lack of organization in the school. Since there's a lack of organization, inequality between divisions and departments is frequent. Overall, this school needs a lot of work in a lot of areas.
