I am also a student at this school and i personally think its a great school. I'm in the G.T program, National Junior Honor Society, and even in Pre-AP classes. All the teachers here are really doing a great job with teaching us all that we need to know in order to succeed in life. I also think this school shouldn't recieve a 2 as a rating.

I love this school as if it were my own home. Me and all my friends love our teacher some can be a little evil but they benifit us the most. The not so evil teachers are even better they stick to there commitment to teach us what we need to know. I love this school and all the people in it the other students, teachers and staff. Last of all my principal she makes this school fun for all of us.
