To much recorded fights putting up on social media and also way to many kids sell drugs there as soon as you walk into the building you can smell it and I am there almost everyday the sadest part is the staff do not care they are great on putting on a show but in reality they can care less if your child dies from drugs. This is so sad why become counselors if that’s not the job you want. And lastly they don’t have enough security guards to help monitor the drugs that’s going on and that school. If you’re thinking about bringing your child there, don’t they do not care. They couldn’t care less about mental needs.

The school is ran terribly. Theres fights everyday with students skipping and roaming the hallways everyday. There's students here who are talented but aren't able to demonstrate it in this school. I have a spanish teacher who just puts random grades without checking the actual assignment. Overall this school is somewhere you shouldn't send your kids too. School is in a very low income area aswell. The positive side of this school is their VPA program as they offer programs with teachers who are willing to work their students. Sometimes the security even befriends students and even helps students skip class. The most common skipping area is the field, students smoke their and I heard rumors that students get robbed at the field.

I would recommend this school for the Visual and Performing Arts Program. The teachers care about the students and work very hard to create a professional arts experience for them. The top students from this program are attending and graduating from top school in the country with good scholarships. Students have private lessons and lots of help perfecting their craft.

The school is badly run, from the top down. The principal sets the tone with an authoritarian culture. Systemic problems are not addressed. The main virtue of the school is supposed to be its visual and performing arts program, but it is not adequately supported. Some of the teachers are great but there is little support from the administration for creative teaching or real learning.
