Great school, and has tons of great classes like metal shop, wood shop, jewelry, music, etc. Though no one likes academics, the teachers here have the skill to engage even the least interested students. I came to this school with ~C's, and now I have mostly A's. It would not be an understatement to say this school has changed the direction of my life.
