I would say that Ashdown high school is a pretty ok school. Teachers at Ashdown are overall friendly and helpful. The only problem I have with Ashdown schools is that it is a football school, it focuses and puts a lot more money into football then it does to the school itself, but other than that I have always had good memories in this school and I have had some pretty friendly teachers and staff.

Well, some of the teachers work towards actually trying to make a good environment for the students, but a lot of them don't seem to care all that much. I just feel like my mental health has deteriorated my mental health.
