My experience with Sullivan East High school was nice. All of the teachers I have had have been really nice and supportive. The students there were also nice, there weren't many kids in the school all together, which is something I enjoyed. If I could change one thing about Sullivan East High I would change the amount of time we get for lunch, I would like a little bit more time. I do not think 30 minutes is enough time to go through the line and eat.
