The best part about Elgin High School are the friends you make. They have a great staff, but the freshmen and the students who vape are the worst.

I am a student in Elgin High School in Texas. from my experience this school is great. many students follow procedures and have less behavior with teachers compared to other schools i've been too. I would love if Elgin improvises on their school programs and clubs. students prefer to have more clubs to attend so they would have a chance do their hobbies as well. for instance, my hobbie is cooking. it would be great if Elgin had a culinary art program as other schools. Elgin needs to also allow students explore other cultures and languages besides English and Spanish. Elgin should also involve French or other foreign language for the interest of students. Elgin is a small school but great school but I believe it can be better by improvising.

Thank goodness I am home schooled now because I think if I went to this school I would only get dumber.
