We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Going to a school as diverse as Washington-Liberty really opened my eyes to wanting to attend an HBCU. I had previously only gone to schools that were predominantly white, and had only ever been around non people of color. When I was surrounded by faculty members and students of all colors and ethnicities it felt more comfortable and safe. I felt truly at home during my time in high school and my decision to attend Howard is a reflection of that peace and comfort.

As a senior I will say everything in my school is going perfect , I love how the school system is working . For me the best experience that I had done in my school was Joining after school clubs , I met new people and I've done a lot of new experience like painting , making food for homeless people, and demonstrating for justice. The worst thing that I've experience it was going to the 4th floor using stares , I know that sound silly but my legs hurts even though it's actually good for my health. Finally that was the best and the worst experience that I had done in my school.

I don't know how Great Schools has come to the scoring number that they currently give this high school, but I do know that it is an inaccurate score if it displays anything less than a 9.5 out of 10. I am surprised that they are legally allowed to link with so many online pseudo-realty websites lik...
