My overall experience was a good experience, it is very easy to make connections with the staff and students at this school. Teachers definitely do want the best for their students and every time I needed help by a teacher I always got it and staff members are very supportive.

What I like about my school is that I just transferred this year and they were just so welcoming. The staff was so helpful in getting me to engage with other students. I loved the way that the other students also involved me in their activities like the classwork. I really like being a student there. It is so much fun to be around them. The have become a family to me and I enjoy being around them. I have made great friends along the way.

My experience at Longwood Preparatory Academy was very good. I loved how connected my teachers were with me and how hard they would try to push the students to do better and excel pass our limits. Everyone in our community knows each other, even the most timid and quiet people will be involved socially. My school helps us find opportunities to help us find our career if we do not know what it is yet by providing us with jobs and internship to see what field would interest us the most. I feel like even after I graduate I will still want to visit my HighSchool and help them in anyway I can.
