"literally a hell hole. some of the teachers were really cool, but the disciplinary action towards the kids who literally JUMPED/DANCED on tables, fought, screamed, etc. was terrible. certain teachers would care and would simply quit teaching to let the students do what they wanted. a lot of the people there sucked."
