School was pretty great, the second to last year, I was given multiple opportunities and I enjoyed that. They helped me when it came to not understanding things which was good. The last year was online due to covid and I think I appreciated that the best. I was able to do everything online, still had friends that I had made over the years, and I completed some things a bit earlier than expected.

I recently transferred here, so I am fairly new, but with the amount of vape/cart and fights; it seems like an overall poorly managed school.

the school is very underfunded and does not have the best teachers- there is not much attention to mental health and outlets for students. The arts are VERY underfunded and sports have WAY too much money. Also Danville is just a boring town in general
