Ok, time to snitch on my high school. YAS. First of all the food is meh. Thats bacically the only way I can describe it, its not bad but its definitely not the best. There's also a serious vaping problem that has been getting better slowly but surely. The teachers and administration are great though. Plenty of after school activities and clubs to choose from. And the duel enrollment program is nice.

Overall, Matoaca is what you make it. There is a crowd for everyone, but teachers do not often go out of their way to do the best job teaching. A lot of my time here has been self taught, but with my friends and supplementary resources like Kahn Academy, I have been able to make my learning happen.
