To me this is the worst school that I have gone to and it's the smallest. Everybody is extremely judgmental. If a teacher doesn't like you then he/she is going to give you and attitude all year long and baby the students he/she likes. If you aren't from here then they don't like you. Now when it comes to teaching there are very few teachers in this school that actually teaches. Most teachers let us have our phones out and do whatever we wanted and we would not have any lessons maybe once a month and that was in my biology two class. There are also hardly any teachers that keep up with putting grades in the book which really tends to frustrate a lot of people. It would be nice to see some different teachersat that school and for them to do their job right.
