The best parts I experienced at my school would be seeing the progress I made since I started as a freshmen. I struggled a bit at the start but I improved and worked harder to succeed in all my classes. I'm glad I was able to come a long way. The worst parts of my experience would be the challenge of maintaining my health along with my studies, but even with all the challenges I faced, I'm glad to be a dedicated student at my school. So with my bad experiences it created great ones in the end.

I would love to see more performing arts. We have a theater teacher but I wish it was a more well-known program. I came to this school for theater, but when I got here, it disappeared, and now that I'm a senior and barely have time for anything, it has been a more active program. I also wish we would read some different books. We read the same books every year despite people complaining about the racial slurs (such as the n-word) in them As a female black student, it is difficult to see this word written in books, and hear it around campus, and barely anything be done. Other than that, I love this school with my whole heart.

My son has had a great experience. The teachers and counselors care about the children they go over and beyond to keep the children on track . However the parents also need to be proactive and involved.
