Well I mean it has been great like in the beginning it was kinda weird. But I eventually adapted to high school and it has just been a great experience and I'm gonna miss it once this step in life ends. I would recommend this school to up and coming freshman because it does get you in track for college and the counselors in this school got your back at all times.
