Ive been in that school since 6th grade, at first there were many great teachers. But as time went on I feel like there weren't enough AP classes. The teachers weren't as helpful, som were but not by a lot.

The school is small, so it has an intimate environment. We use another schools outdoor field for sports. It is a good school in. A good neighborhood but on the small size.

Overall this was my best school experience. As someone who was bullied throughout my life i can say with certainty if I was bullied my administration would do something. The teachers really care about the students and the kids are very nice. The classes are small so I think the education is very good.

As a student, the school is bad because of the administrators that are in charge of this school.The deans barely do anything except walk around the halls and just ask others to take their headphones off and a lot of the teachers don't even really take things seriously except a small few.
