We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The worst parts would have to be some of the administrators. A few of them are just rude for no reason and show that they do not care about the students they are just there because it is their job. Some of the best parts are the teachers. They are really nice and they actually do care about the students. The clubs and activities are a bouns as well.

I like everything. The people at my school do their best everyday. They achieve great thistles like presidents of clubs, winners, and champions.

I have had some good teachers, but I just wish we offered more AP classes. It is nearly impossible to get a GPA above a 4 because they simply do not have enough AP classes to boost your GPA.

The teachers, for the most part, are great. The building, administration, and district itself- not so much. There are much better school districts close by.
