I have anxiety and I feel the comp… *(Dec 2025)*

- **1/5** — OTT detentions and poor communication: This school will hand out C3s like nobody's business for students yawning too loud, but doesnt punish students caught stealing or bullying.

Students are expected to keep up with homework across MULTIPLE platforms-not good for students with additional needs! Food lines are often so long students cant get food and if entitled to free schoo… *(Mar 2025)*
