Cumberland is an okay school some teachers are better than others there are some teachers who have favorites and target students but other than all the drama the school isn't that bad I've made good friends here most people are nice.

The best part is that since it is a small little county everyone in the area knows each other and you barely see any new faces that go to the school.

Cumberland is a good school altogether. It offers honors classes, but no AP which is a shame. There is a Governors School program that preparess you for college.
