I have gone here k-12, and I enjoyed it for the most part. I have been friends with the same 12 kids in my class for my entire life, and will probably keep them the rest of the way. The school is not terribly challenging, but on such a small scale it is hard to accommodate for the more adept kids as well as those who need more help. I could have left and gone to another high school, But I didn't want to leave all the friends that have basically become my family.
