This school used to be good, a few years ago. But unfortunately, they have now started to accept anyone and the school is very crowded. You feel like a number at this school. The education is good, but it is the students who do not give a damn that are at the school that make this school an unpleasant place to go.

The students usually are:

  • self absorbed
  • do not know simple manners
  • pushy
  • materialistic
  • people often won't talk to you even if you are in the same class
  • distracting to others in class by talking, texting, and using chairs as footrests to the discomfort of other students who actually do want to pay attention
  • The teachers usually:

  • can be kind
  • certain teachers do hold a lot of office hours and will give you the time of day
  • give good classes
  • The campus is:

  • very crowded
  • too many students waiting in line for lunch to the point that you can wait up to 45 minutes just to eat (there goes lunch)
  • shuttle buses inefficiant (four busloads of kids sometimes waiting at a time after class for one bus and people get real pushy to get on the bus, leading to accidents like people tripping)
  • no one seems to know how to hold a door in the hallway
  • library very crowded
  • The main issue is that the school is so overcrowded, and there are so many kids sometimes packed in one classroom.
