Rating 3.38 out of 5 24 reviews
The best school ever, the teachers were nice and they treat us fairly. The cafeteria is great and there is a lot of nice students. Would recommend going here, it teaches you so many things about it.
While the school does have a new cafeteria, in my eyes, that might be the only good thing about it.
The school isn't very inclusive. All they do is send out notices, use an app to send text messages to parents and students, and make phone calls home about reminders or behavior.
They also promised air conditioning in more rooms, but there is hardly any change in that situation.
The school does sport an honors program, but accept students with bad behavior in (even if they have good grades), and boot the good students, with good grades and good conduct. It's very unfair to those who want to work hard. The honors program, in my opinion, should be based on how hard a student wants to work. If they want to work hard, even if their grades are average, then they should be given a chance to be in the honors program and see if they show some improvement. Grades aren't everything - conduct should also count.

It was a great school and I’ve made many memories with my friends and teachers there!!! It is a safe school, I hope you newcomers love the school as much as I do :)))
