I had an amazing time at Ponce de Leon Middle School. The teachers knew how to get you to understand the topic. The food was awesome. Faculty is great. I just wish that they could clean the bathrooms more often because they were pretty smelly. I made a lot of life long friends here. Super diverse school which is awesome!
