Overall I have enjoyed my time so far at Gibbs High School. Most teachers are nice and actually care about you, many will help you in class and many will care about your future and ask questions about what you plan to do after high school. There is a good selection of Advanced Placement classes also with good teachers. Some of the electives could be taught better in my opinion though.

It's really hard to continue to instill the values I've worked hard to instill when I have no reinforcement from the authority figures in their life away from me. The amount of drama and physical fighting might be a result of the lack of support and good influences in our offices their at Gibbs. To...
