Meh. I personally am a student at Spectrum High School, and I think it's a good ol' meh. Got goods and bads to it. They're expecting me so much, but if I switch schools, it won't be any better. Take every bad thing from other schools in this area: Drugs, fights, crime. Spectrum has 1% of all that garbage from other schools. If you want a safe learning environment, this is the place to go.
