i am a current sophomore at this school. im going to give an honest overview of the school. the teachers are absolutely great. i have yet to have a problem with a teacher. the music, theatre, and art classes are top-notch. i only mention those three because the school is best known for those classes. thats one of the only positive things i can say about this school. the other students here? awful. the bullies outnumber the nice kids by a lot. i have been threatened, yelled at, ridiculed, insulted, and even beaten up since i started the 2014-15 year. theres at least 5 fights a month. i saw 4 last week. it gets worse as time goes on. and security at the school is a mixed blessing. they break up the fights, but then the victim gets into as much trouble as the bully. ive seen and heard of some awful things happen here. at one point, a senior threatened to shoot a teacher for taking away his e-cigarette. at another time, a bully stuck a pencil underneath his victim as he sat down at lunch. i kid you not, the victim was sent to the hospital with a pencil in his buttcheek. it is scary to go here. theres also racism, sexism, and other hatred daily. im sure i will get bullied for making this post, i may even get in trouble with faculty for making this post. and making the school look bad. but i just want to warn the parents considering bringing their teens into this school. it has many awesome teachers, but many students are rude, disrespectful, and violent. i just want to get that message out there , and its at my own risk. thank you for reading.
