There are amazing teachers here, but the same is true for bad teachers. Some of the teachers on the staff seem like they hate their job, they hate the students, and they don't want to be present. But if you are lucky enough to get even just one of the amazing teachers here (Metz, L. Johnson, E. Lewis, Eichelberger, Rider, G. Smith, Fikar, Swartz, and more) it will make your experience much better.
Aside from the teachers, the administration is terrible. Change is needed.

From my personal experiences, the school has given me a lot of opportunities. I have enjoyed my time at the school, playing varsity soccer every year and being in honors classes as well. I feel very prepared for college and the administrators have been very helpful for my journey. The one thing that is a bit annoying is the fights. Teenagers are very annoying to be around sometimes and it never helps when a fight breaks out. I would love to see that change and become a less emotionally unstable establishment.
