There are a couple of really great teachers here, but this school has lots of issues with kids being bullied by fellow students and staff.

I hate this school. the teachers are harsh, the principals are all rude and they pick favorites, and just the school's vibe is all off. I only come to school to see my friends honestly.

Cliques are rampant. Administration is un-involved, tolerant of division within, and non-supportive of both teachers and parents. Open enroll to Patrick Henry before middle school starts!
