do not associate with this school whatsoever. i've been a student here for 11 years, and all i've learned is that the teachers only care about their paycheck—not the students. they do not teach in effective ways, leaving the majority of students failing or scoring badly on tests. the teachers here do not care about you. they either treat you like a 3-year-old and make you feel stupid, or are just blatantly rude and humiliate you in front of the entire class for no good reason. they all pick favorites as well, and will openly lie to you to get their way. the science teacher also flirts with all the boys. once i leave this godforsaken school, i'm never thinking about it anymore than i have to for the rest of my life. the staff needs to be put in their place; students are treated awfully.

Students have many oportunities with athletics and extracurricular activities. Amherst has cheerleaders that have represented our school in the Disney world parade, one of which I am. We have had students compete in national contest, like FBLA and FFA.

I like that we get to use IPad for homework assignments but sometimes they are distracting. I'd like to go back to pencil and paper homework assignments.
