School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
I love going to this school.
The only thing is that they got rid of all drawing and painting classes. =(
But, the sports are extremely competitive, and they push you to do your best.
The teachers are available a lot at lunch for you to get help.
But, one other bad thing, is it is EXTREMELY overcrowded at lunch.
You cannot walk down the halls without seeing a group of people.
