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 school has been through many changes throughout my 4 years of being in the school. The school is not a horrible school, but it's not great either. There are always changes that can be made to improve the school system, and hopefully changes are made before I graduate college.

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.
