Some good students some bad students. Some good parents some bad parents. If the school gets rid of the bad students and bad parents it will be a much better school. As the school is a "C" school it does not get my recommendation.

Teachers, I think that there are four in the entire school. Half wonderful, half terrible.
Availability of music,(no) art (no), sports(no) and other extracurricular activities (limited) You can go to the high school (no transportation) and request that you participate in their activities but why not go to the high school?
