We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

A positive experience at my school was during my Junior year where we learned in my automotive class many things that I was not taught at home. We learned how to do an oil change, realign our tires, how to change a tire, how to change fluids in our cars, and many more.

I like seeing people interact with one another and having teachers that can connect with students. I would prefer to see more AP classes offered in the future.

The school is blatantly racist against students of color and faculty does nothing to stop it. If you want your child to have their rights valued and protected, wouldn’t choose this school or district.
