The teachers don't care too much about the students and they would rather just get their paychecks. Some of the teachers strive to make relationships with their students and those are the teachers that make a difference.

There are many teachers there who are truly there to help their students thrive and be the absolute best they can be. But there are also teachers and administrators there who make the days of school hard for the students. Some days I know I didn't want to be there because of a teacher but I showed up anyway because of my friends and the other teachers I liked.

There is a great array of teachers in the school, offering various classes covering many subjects. There are a lot of extracurricular activities offered and starting new clubs and organizations is super easy. Overall, the school has a lot of opportunities and the teachers are always willing to help.

I went to this school for one year before transferring to Norton. The teachers care, but I am so glad I was homeschooled before because otherwise I would have been way behind when I transferred to Norton. They care more about that scores than actually teaching. Don't let the new buildings fool you,...
