My experience being in sexton was memorable and amazing. I had my struggles but I was surrounded by amazing people and friends.

The best part of my school is the passionate teachers willing to support us even though we are falling behind. The worst part is that we are a lot worser off and less funded than other schools with less diversity.

My school is located right in the city of Lansing, Michigan. It is a public school and located in a really nice neighborhood and across from the capital. However, the school itself struggles with academic achievement and student behavior. The diversity is amazing, and teachers are super encouraging. The school is rapidly improving itself, the environment and culture. I hope things can continue blooming. #jdubb

J.W. Sexton high-school is one of the WORST schools I have ever went too! The students basically take over the class while the teachers do nothing, kids are always on their phone, and the security guards don't do anything. The teachers don't teach the students anything, the only person that really d...
