Mingus Union High School
This school needs attention from someone who wants the kids to actually learn and pass their classes instead of placing them in simple passing classes when they start to fail. These easy classes (jump lab etc. ) are a waste and all they do is pass a student so they can fail next year, that's why they have so many students with f's. Also more like a jail then a school. If you don't believe me ..ask any student.
