I have had really good teachers at this school and sub par ones. A little more than half go above and beyond to make sure the student feels welcome to the classroom environment. These teachers also make sure that every student understands the material before going on. However, there are some teachers who could care less if you would learn anything. They don't treat the students with as much respect as they should but then again it isn't awful.
