The best and worst parts about loch Raven high School would be the academic cities that I had this since it's very good but the worst probably the safety and the protection that you get at the school because it's a lot of people who don't really care about going to college or studying and usually just hang out in the hallways and do unrighteous things.

The worst part of the loch raven high school experience was the lack of care towards students and the emphasis of authority. Club and sports participation had dwindled significantly and teachers just did not seem to care anymore.

Loch Raven is a small school and like any high school, it has its issues but it is a great school and because of its small size you have opportunities that you wouldn't otherwise have in larger schools. You can easily join successful sports teams with little to no experience and enter high school with a great community of people. You can get involved with the school community and actually make a difference as well as have your teachers and peers know your name.

Transferring to loch Raven for my senior year was pretty nerve wracking, I didn’t know what to expect. First off, the administration is extremely nice and supportive. My counselor is great! The students are pretty chill, except for some of the 9th graders. There are some altercations, but that is to...
