The school is small, but not too small. The teacher to student ratio is enough to let the teachers care more about their students and help you succeed.

I like the amount of time the teachers spend to help students understand their work. They will often answer any questions students have after school if they don't understand it by the end of the class period. However, I believe that the school way of disciplining students is mostly ineffective as for things like lunch detention it's more like a game.

The school is a smaller school which makes me feel more connected with the teachers and alumni. The students are involved in the school as well as their parents. A lot of student's parents attended this school. It's located in Finley which is a small community just outside Kennewick Washington.
