this school is ok,but the one of many problem this school faces is that it is very unorganised.this is mostly because theres is not a lot of communication between the admistration and teachers, theres always some kind of problem that happens because of this and students have to pay for it.the lunch program in this school is prety decent.the location of their high school is moderate,the transportation to and from the skool is prety expensive.another big problem theres no proper sports teams they dont own any equipment. One big hing that this school has is that all student know each other and they all get along,yes there is some slakers that cause havoc,but avove all every one one is friendly.
