this school is okay, but what is the absolute worst is the office, the people in there are ridiculous and talk to you like you don't know anything. This school totally plays favorites. To pass, you need to suck up. i know my counselor was horrible and acted like she didn't even want to be there, and she didn't push any students to go to universities or state colleges, only if you were one of her "favorites" I went in to her office, i can't even count how many times, and she still doesn't know my name or anything about me. I'm a junior.
