    "All those people who have never been inside the school once and are commenting badly about it, i strongly suggest that you should come to this school and see for yourself how good it is. as far as students leaving at 9 is concerned , it is because they have early schedule and we start real early. we have an excellent faculty and students, but like every other school their are some kids who just do not care about anything else but themselves. i am not claiming that it is the best school in the world, but it is definitely not the worst! :)"

    "From what i see, this school is horrible; I take the bus by the school and there are students leaving at 9 in the morning. The students are rowdy, disruptive, violent and even smoke on the bus. They definitely mess up the neighborhood. The school looks like a beautiful facility with an amazing field; too bad its not put to use. I had a few friends go to the school in the past and they regret attending the school."

    "Despite the fact that there are some caring adults who work in this school who care about students, I strongly urge parents to avoid sending their child here. It earned an F in school safety/environment according to last year s school quality review and here is why: There are many students who wander all over the hallways whose main purpose is to hang out with their friends and see how far they can get away with not attending class and still pass their courses. Some hallways are very bad with students literally running in and out of classrooms. A significant number of students walk too slowly and arrive 5-10 minutes late to class. Fights occur daily because of bad attitudes towards one another. There are NO motivational speakers invited to the school who may serve as role models. The hallways smell like pot every day now because the security officers are unable to catch students in the act of their illegal activity. There are always at least 3-5 students in every class who talk BACK to the teacher (!) WHEN THEY CANNOT USE THEIR CELL PHONE IN CLASS nor talk with their friends during instruction time (and then wonder why they failed the class and complain about it afterwards)."
