My experience at Thelma Salinas Early College High School has been great, but one downside would have to be that a student has to do a lot of work.

There are a lot of opportunities given to you at this school. And graduating with an associate in science, engineering, and biology is quite regular. The teachers and counselors make it extremely easy to achieve this goal.
