3.0 Middle School Student

3/21/2018

I like that there are so many kids, as everyone has friends, but the academics here are quite poor for advanced learners. The school channels most of its funding into bringing up the bottom kids, while leaving advanced learners completely to their own means. Also, they made the decision to keep Yvette Felarca, which is a public threat who attacks anyone who she doesn't agree with.

The place is full of pre-teens, tweens, and new teenagers, so there may be a bit of drama and angs...
