While there are flaws, such as outdated facilities and limited diversity, most of my experience has been pleasant. I am a part of the choir program, which has been a highlight for me.

It has been hard to be in this school because sometimes its a bit unfair. Besides that I love the electives and majors. My favorite is the NJROTC program which I am a part of.

The superintendent is a poor leader (former elementary principal who is a micro manager) and the principals have no backbone. The Athletic Director pretty much runs the entire district, makes more than the superintendent (if that tells you anything) and the good teachers leave after a year or two be...
