Horrible, I went there 2 years ago in 7th grade and was constantly bullied by almost every student in my class. Only two teachers there really made me feel as if they cared about my education, Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Scott. Ramsey cared about learning but still wasn't an amazing teacher. Mr. Scott on the other hand always had a good mood and despite the class being in dissaray sometimes, he always had the ability to help students and make them enjoy learning math. For all the bad things about this school however, I only give it one star. Bullying as I mentioned before is a HUGE problem for anyone that even slightly has views that align with anything other than the far left. The school provided lunch is absolutely awful for the price of about $4, although it seems everyone else got it free as the cut off for family income is just too low for my family to have made at the time. The school is so small it makes me clostraphobic, and it is not very well maintained. The field is in pretty bad condition, and even though there is a police station right next door I can't help but feel unsafe from anything short of a school shooter. The uniform policy I feel is a bit strict, although not terrible, but the problem I have is that with the school being so small, they don't have space for a locker room, nor do they have athletic clothing, so 4 out of 5 days of the week you go to phys ed wearing a polo, khakis, and a belt; which is not at all comfortable. A LARGE majority(id say 90%) of the school has a mexican population, which in itself is not a bad thing, but because of my political beliefs was bullied, most mexican families being on the left. But just not very diverse, I didn't really fit in, which I know in this day in age is a very important thing in the average prepubescent teen's life. 3/4ths of the kids spoke spanish when not in class so I didn't understand people well. And Finally, although it was challenging at points, I feel that the course work was pretty easy(with, and im not trying to be racist, a lot of the kids having lower iq scores) and don't let them fool you with their state test stats, they don't reflect the education of the students well, pretty much 65% of my homeroom class were C average students.
