The heartbreaking situation has left school authorities with no option, but to convert the inadequate classrooms into dormitories. To alleviate the situation, authorities went further to turn some uncompleted buildings and a small assembly hall into classrooms, but to no avail.

The arrival of 660 Free Senior High School beneficiaries posted to the School has aggravated the crisis, requiring urgent attention.

Accra-based Starr Fm  reported that, both female and male students are using a classroom block as dormitory, forcing students to sleep in turns as though they are in prison. Some students who cannot stand the heat in the rooms defy the unfriendly weather condition and mosquitoes to sleep on the veranda.

A 12-unit storey classroom block abandoned by a contractor some years ago is being partitioned to be used as Classrooms.

The crisis stricken school also lacks desks to meet the demands of the student population, forcing at least four students to share a desk.
