What I don't like about my school has to be that I don't get treated like a number I asked you know my teachers and know everybody I'm in class with. It's somewhere where I really learn how to be a person and not just be taken for granted. It feels amazing to be in a tight-knit community like I have in my school. But one of the changes I would love to see it's for us to get more resource. In my school, we tend to lack resources to better and more effectively teach the students. So where better resources I would see an increase in student productivity and output.

We do not have much as other cps schools but we make do with what we have. Not located in the best neighborhood to be honest. They really focus on developing students' levels of responsibility and confidence as well as their academics. Very supportive environment overall. Made many lifelong friends. Overall positive experience.
