My experience wasn't bad, I feel like the struggles I had wasn't the school. I think the only thing I would change is just the way they prepare us for the SAT's, it wasn't the most helpful. And the best parts was the dances, activities, certain teachers, as well as my art classes. The worst part was the grading scale not being by tens like it is at the college I am at now. I believe the grading was harsher at the highschool.

While attending Geneseo High School I have improved academically. The majority of teachers here are supportive and give their all to better our education. But one thing I would like to see change is diversity. Although the district cannot directly make that happen, steps can be taken to include more diversity.

GHS has an outstanding music program. There are a variety of clubs and activities to choose from yet it can be difficult at times to know what opportunities are out there. My teachers are very supportive and available to answer questions and I feel prepared for college next year.

The special education and life skills program sucks, I would not recommend this school, and the high school does not follow there anti bullying policy. They support there athletes and their students that come from big money.
