My best experiences from Berwick High School come from the students and peers throughout the school. We all can connect on a level because of how bad the school is. This low income school is throughout a bad school because it does not offer what a regular high school student needs. I have not been in one class where we finished cirriculum on time and have gotten through the stuff we needed.

It is like any normal high school I guess most teachers are nice. I mostly do not like the kids they are rude and snotty and do not do work then complain they get bad grades.

The education offered is amazing and some of the teachers are also amazing. However, we have problems with homophobic staff, teachers looking in the cracks between stalls, and even teachers grabbing students.

I've been to many schools throughout my life, and I have to say that Berwick was my favorite. Not only do you feel pride in your town through the famous football team, but the sports programs here teach you more than just the sport. They teach respect, discipline, teamwork, and ambition. This is not...
