I've been here for basketball games before and most recently, this was the host for the GIAC…read moretournament that happened on Valentine's Day. The first game for us was at 10am and if we won, the championship game was at 2pm. The parking lot for this school is very small making it challenging. The school is across the street from a church which I noticed overflow parking there and also people parked on the street. They don't have a label on the doors for the gym entrance, so I just followed the flow of people going inside. The concession stand is right after the entrance and then the gym is on the right. The cost of admission was $5 for me and $3 for my son (student discount). They take card and cash for admission. They did not have a printout sheet of the teams with player names for this tournament. It's a small gym, and seating is limited to two sides of the gym. Restrooms were upstairs because the teams were using the downstairs restrooms as their locker rooms. You can use card or cash to purchase items from concessions. My son tried to purchase hotdogs for us, but they said it wasn't ready, so I got a can of coke and he got a Hersey bar for $3. I also purchased a cookie which was $3 that I found out was another business selling them here. My son went back after some time to get a hotdog, and it was $2. He asked if they were beef and they told him yes. My son's team made it to the championship game, and since we had plenty of time in between games, I left the building to run some errands. The lady taking money for admissions had us write our names down so we didn't have to repay to get back in. When we came back for the championship game, a loose dog was following my son and I to the gym. We were nervous at first, but it didn't seem like it was going to harm us. Knowing where we were going, the dog waited by the door, so I thought maybe his owner was inside. The dog came inside, ran on the court, and everyone looked shocked, and I asked if anyone knew the owner. The athletic director came out to escort the dog back outside, stating it was a neighborhood dog and luckily it was friendly. First time that's happened to me lol. My husband was at work for the 1st game, but was able to attend the 2nd game. He purchased a hotdog from concession, but I told him it didn't look like the one our son had from earlier so he went back to ask if it was beef or pork, but they told him they didn't know, he doesn't eat pork so he asked if he could get something else. At first they were hesitant but they switched it with nachos. He was upset about it, and he said all of the cheese for the nachos was at the bottom which he didn't like. My son's team became the 2026 GIAC champs this day!!!

Got a message from "Taylor B." today:…read more "Ms. Becca. I feel sorry for you. Its sad you feel like everyone needs these 2 page reviews of these business. If I sat around all day and wrote yelp reviews I'd probably be pissed at the world to. You've done 23 reviews? Really? Learn how to spell then get a life..." I guess BA's lovely lessons on kindness didn't stick. :(

I totally agree with the other comment. School of excellence my a**…read more They do make it quite obvious that all they care about is the funding they get for this that and the other. Yet put SO little effort into the kids or even teachers selection. My kids kindergarten teacher was fresh out of school, zero experience, no kids herself... & didnt seem anyone with experience was helping her out enough. She was clueless about most basic things that most other teachers do with kids this young... ZERO communication with parents... zero work sent home.... no weekly updates or emails.... hardly no daily grading or paper checking. I wasnt even allowing to come in and check things out for myself. I never had ANY idea what they were working on. I even suggested all this & just got sarcastic responses from everyone saying their doing their best. Also...the teacher herself, Ms. Selerno, made it sound like my kid was such a problem child & constantly in trouble. But my kid would always explain to me later that she never listened when something was wrong or when someone else was the one picking & bullying her... but shed catch only the end of it... after my kid reacted, and only call out my kid every time. My 5 year old literally said she feels like her teacher dont like her. I was heartbroken she said that...which means she felt that. Even in class pictures of them working... that the teacher would post... i saw my kid was sitting in the back of the class with her chair facing AWAY from everyone. LITERALLY. But usually if a kid is always acting up or hard to stay on track... youd think they'd put them up front & keep them close. Thats when I made up a reason to pull her out immediately.

I loved going to high school here. We're there problems, of course. But the jrotc program was the…read morebest there. There are days I miss being there, and I made so many amazing friends there, and had so much fun. This school gets a bad rap, but their was a lot more good than bad whenvi was there. I know the school is not the same now as it was when I went there from 04-08 but I just enjoyed this school a lot.

Went to a basketball game here vs Crispus Attucks. The first parking lot we entered, we tried…read moreseveral doors and did not see the gym entrance, it was annoying since it's so cold. We had to go back in the car and drive around, and then we saw the gym entrance. The parking lot is small, we had to park across the street. The snow made it difficult, they didn't pave the parking lot well. Entrance fee was accepted by card or cash, I didn't get the amount because my husband paid. The concession stand is right outside the entrance after the entry table. They do take card for concessions, but they charge an extra fee for each item if paying with card. The hot dogs are beef, the popcorn didn't have much flavor, and they offer variety of chips. Prices are fair for the items, but that extra charge is inconvenient. The gym is large, and there's plenty of space for spectators. They had a dj at the game which makes it lively. This game was so close and really good, went to overtime but unfortunately gw fell short.

I've been trying to leave this school ever since sophomore year . All that school is known for is…read morenasty food , fighting , gossip and behavioral demands that are more likely unnecessary . We cannot order food or it's taken away when the food there is disgusting. Barely have any teachers , selective teachers that did care about the students left bcs the school was too much . Roaches ,hair n food. Guns & easy access to the school . Dean swain doesn't care about the kids she just want to address unnecessary things like hats and hoodies speaking of that i was jumped there over some bs and was lied upon but even after that they wouldn't let me leave they gave me false hope saying I could transfer to tech . My hair was pulled out of my scalp & dean swain had no sympathy whatsoever kept putting words in my mouth about the incident. Do not send your kids here
