Aspira has been an "okay" contribution to my journey of high school, I do think that the administration could stand to hear out what the students have to say every one's in awhile. Even though I rated the school at a average level, Aspira has taught me a lot. Since I've been at this high school I think I truly have learned how to grow and evolve into a mature, independent woman.

I like how the student get to know each other very well. What I would change would be for the school to be a bit more bigger with more activities.
