One thing is the teachers take time with each student to make sure you understand your work. Another asset this school have is the environment. It was like a family there. A flaw that I hope will change in the future is the resources that are available for the students through there learning process. I believe that if this school had those advanced resources then this school would be spectacular, and no other school would compare.

It was alright, I wouldn't say it is the best school to go to. Kemper is kinda bad to me even though we not failing. The food there is so horrible sometimes it make some the students at our school sick. Kemper is really boring and we don't have a lot of access to things
