Most of the problems relating to the school had to do with the students themselves. Overall, it was a decent experience. I tried to make the most of what the school had to offer by joining different programs like Early College and the Career and Technical Education program. You can make do with what is offered to you.

As a student who transferred from another school it was better than the school I'm originally from. The students are very accepting. The teachers are willing to help with anything.

B.M.C. Durfee is a good school but in order to fully succeed the way you want to you need to 100% advocate for yourself. For example I wasn't aware of half the opportunities that this school gives which puts you at a lower disadvantage than others who was told about these. I'm grateful for the opportunities that I was told about like One Goal and the early college program but I wish I knew more about certain clubs and organizations that this school works with. I also came from a community school (kindergarten to 8th grade) and they didn't really speak about high school to us so it was really hard going into high school and even going in I wasn't told about how certain classes worked. Over all the staff at Durfee is amazing if you have the ins of the school and have people who can get you known in a way. There are rules that I think aren't the best but it's a working progress and I hope some of the rules get fixed when I leave and make a better environment for these kids to learn.
