Theres no discipline at all. Theres a constant bullying problem. I haven't learned anything sincr 5th grade. Constant physical fights. The teachers have little or no support for people with (Autism, ADHD, etc...) and they get bullied as well. The school food sucks and its overpriced. Teachers practically just read off a book and call it a day of teaching. And they also don't remind you at all if you forgot any work. Some of teachers are way too strict or way too lenient. (One teacher took away my summerfest for playing games in class once, even though I had 1/3 strikes.) (One teacher did absolutely nothing when kids were running around yelling in the middle of teaching)

Poor communication, Teachers on power trips. Blame is shuffled from parent to "terrible teachers" at the Intermediate & Elem. levels. Would not recommend this school. Teachers encourage poor habits by demanding ill students complete missed work in the 10 min prior to start of day. Teahers are more concerned with the ease by which they perform their tasks than the students educational experience. Staff is dismissive unless it benefits them directly.
