Horrible! The vice principal and principal are all about politics and pleasing parents with athletic kids. The school district is money driven. They push for kids to be on Individual Education Plans so they can receive an extra 4,000.00 - 5,000.00 per student from the state. Plus, they push for retakes to ensure that the school education rating stays up. If the students get better grades, then the school looks better.
