I mean I guess El Capitan is a pretty good school, but because it's in a more rural area we deal with a lot of racism, sexism and homophobia. I personally don't know how they handle these issues when someone brings them up, but they don't really stop. The teachers prepare you pretty well but because of our district and the office at our school, we aren't told a lot. So I'm a junior and wasn't told any info about signing up for PSAT's, let alone the SAT's.

It was alright, certainly a high school, nothing too crazy. Did not change my life, just high school.
