Education wise it's pretty alright. It's the students really that are the problem. There is a very bad culture of disrespecting teachers and other students that ruin the whole learning experience.

The best part about my school is that they allow u to take different career classes you're interested in the worst thing is the environment isn't good. I would like to change the amount of kids the school have and all the kids that don't come to learn to go to a different school. It's not fair to the other.
