I transferred to Starrs Mill halfway through my junior year. The best part was how welcoming everyone was to me and how understanding and involved the teachers were. The worst part was being new and also the counselor that I had.

In my experience, if a student is struggling or mentally unhealthy, most teachers prioritize the students already...
