The best part of my experience was having teachers that encouraged me to keep going. The worst part would always be having to wake up at 6 to get to school at 7. I wish it could start later.

5.0 Sophomore

The best part about school is how much all the teachers and other staff want to help you to succeed at whatever you are doing.

3.0 Alum

6/27/2024

My best experience was my education. It was the most important part of high school to me and I felt properly education and ready for college. The worst part was the favoritism. The faculty wasn't very good at hiding who their favorite students were and it wasn't fair to their least favorite. I would like to see a change in diversity and funding.
