The school needs to be better maintained in general. The curriculum was so many negative topics and depressing, it would be better to have more balance to include more positive topics and inspiration topics. Would like more clubs available.

I liked the teaching and how much the teachers were involved. Also I liked the structure of learning on how we had A and B days which made it very easy to keep up with each class.
