Terrible food. The chocolate milk is completely frozen solid, and it's always the same disgusting chicken patty with terrible, way-too-wheaty bread and a mushy chicken patty.

Albert Einstein has a saying that it is, " the place to be" and for me personally u did felt like it was the place to be, my overall experience was bad just as it was good COVID affected schools in many ways in general. But at Einstein High School they make sure we all felt comfortable and they were really patient with us, and when trying to get things back to normal specially for students. I had an amazing experience. Some of the students were rude just as some of the students were really awesome just like in any school.

I attended Einstein for my freshmen year of high school. My only good teachers were the ones I had in higher level classes. However any on-levels that I attended were bare-minimum effort and were physically painful to sit through. Furthermore I found the environment very depressing and dead inside....
