I attend this school, I have for 2 years and i have to say, this school is not the best. the teachers are okay but some have high tempers and do not focus on the child but yet the class. They do not go out of their way to help a specific child. Hardly any tutoring or after school staying occurs, they serve over one day old meals, (sometimes you have to wait 15mins for) the floors and walls are not clean, the bathroom stalls have vulgar things wrote on them.. the computers are nice.. the books are in terrible condition, and if not, they are not really informable. and no, im not just aying this stuff, its serious. take it from a currrent student. dont send your child here. plus, the selection of classes, are slim and the counselors are not always willing to do what the student wants and put him/her in the classes she/she wants or needs.

The faculty and staff have their highs and lows, but in the least most of the teachers seem to have at least a narrow band of knowledge on the fundemental ethics that the human race generally esteems. The education, while not a breath-taking display of cultural integrity mixed with flowing words that simply inspire learning to be commenced, isn't all that sub-standard. J.J. Kelly has the best band in the county, at least. The football team... well, in the interest of promoting this school we just won't go there. Other extra-curriculars I cannot vouch my opinion for as I have no earthly idea what that standards for good vs. waste of funding are. I would overall willingly attend this school on a somewhat regular basis, and then flee for my life on my graduation day. Which is what I'll be doing when that blessed day comes. El Fin.
