Supportive staff and awesome teachers. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the small amount of electives offered

I like how it's small so you create a relationship with the teachers. I would change the way the students treat each other.

My favorite part of French Settlement is the community atmosphere that surrounds everyone. This is extremely encouraging especially when it comes to sporting events or celebrations. I would definitely like to see a change in the pressure that is put on students to succeed. Teens are under enough stress as it is, the added stress of expectation hinders a students ability.
