The teachers help you learn but they don't help you when you need extra help with the assignment or class work. they never give out homework but if you don't turn in an assignment thats in paper or online you have to do it at home. the students are outrageous and there were at least 5 or 6 fights in one school year. the kids there are super nice though if you become friends with them

The teacher care very much and work hard. They out up a lot with some kids who need help. The teacher also help kids when they need help whether that be with home life or with reading assistance.

Probably like 4% of the students have those characteristics, but most students really are out of control.

There are some good people that work there, but the students would never listen.

Some teachers did help, but the majority of kids didn't do anything in classes, and it was all completion.

The teachers couldn't do much because a majority of the students were bullies, it also seemed as though some of the teachers absolutely did not care.
