I did like dysart and went all four years. Some students really do not put in the effort and I feel like you can not blame the teachers and staff for that.

During my four years at Dysart High School, the school was continuously evolving to make changes for the new generation of students' needs. My senior year the school became an A rated school in Arizona which was exciting. Overall, many students take the academics seriously and put great effort into clubs, sports, and arts.

I don't have any complaints about Dysart High School. One of the things I like the most is the teachers because anytime you need something from them they will help you with homework, projects and so on. Because English is not my first language, sometimes I struggle to understand the teachers. Still, I always received the help I needed, especially from my English teacher, who in the beginning gave me the Spanish edition of the book the class was reading so that I wouldn't be left behind. The counselors are also nice; they will guide you during your high school year, suggesting what to do to prepare you for college. One thing I would like to change is the food, it is almost the same every day and I would like to see some variety, but it is not a big deal to worry about. Overall, it's a very good high school and it has a lot to offer.

My current high school is one of the most terrible places ever. It has almost driven me to suicide because of it's problems - I've seen the rudest and most hypocritical people in my life here other than in Los Angeles and New York City. The Cambridge curriculum is horrible, stressful, and worst of,...
