A lot of these stats are wrong. For example, it is a Kindergarten to 8th grade school now.
It has mostly good teachers, some are lenient while others are strict.
They focus on social justice a lot.
They have very advanced math classes, but not any other advanced classes.
You used to be able to select cool electives, but now there is just Health, Media, Art, and PE. The teachers for electives are ok, and the Health teacher is really cool.
The school lunch is really good and also healthy.
The bathrooms don't have doors.
Students have a fair amount of recess everyday, but it is in the alley next to the school. (For middle school students)
Great vibe, but kids may be a bit spoiled.
