Although Ash Grove High School might be small, the impact that it has had on my senior year so far has been huge. I have, by far, had some of the best teachers who genuinely care and want to help me succeed. It's the type of school where everyone knows you and who you are and you don't have to be the star quarterback on the football team, or the starting guard of the basketball team for that to happen. I would say that my best experience so far has been the encouragement of my teachers. These teachers have taught me more in one year than all other years combined at my old school. I cannot say enough good things about them. And the worst, is the food. But isn't that just part of any high school experience.... deciphering what might be on my plate that I'm hungry enough to want to try and eat if only I could figure out what it is I'm about to eat.

There is only a few teachers in the school that actually teach in what they majored in, in college a majority of the others have Phys. Ed. degrees. the styles are decent and a couple of the teachers are good at teaching however the amount that don't is to high. the interest in students is low if you are out side of sport i was basically shunned by several teachers that coach football when I quit it. The grading here is messed up all the teachers grade differently and the scale is non-wieghted so the kids that took easy classes have a higher GPA than the rest.
