I like certain teachers at school, they help me when needed and make me feel comfortable. The school is kept pretty clean in my opinion.

The teachers and academics are very good. The teachers help you all the time. But there is no proper art club where you can draw what you want. The food is also average. But the teachers and the parents are involved and they are very polite.

The life here is calm and entertaining, no cases of bullying or anything like that, though there are occasional fights.

One star because it really isn't diverse in anyway. Academically or racially. I repeat the same classes every year and there really isn't anything to challenge me intellectually.
