I liked the teachers and all of my friends. Good programs, a small school so it was kinda like a family. The only thing that wasn't good....the administration. So obsessed with dress codes and student-athletes..very odd people.

Couple teacher are nice. Students are try to be nice to you but I easily get confuse what I am doing. I even ask the teachers and most of the time they don't know what they supposed or will be doing. To my most memorable, it was my first day to school. After I get out of the bus. I have no clue where to go or what to do. I just stranded in front of the school door. Then I went to the office and try to figure it out what should I be doing. The office lady answer me she does not know, whatever. I was stocked. And till now so far. I know some people are being nice to me but I did not have a really special, memorable high school experience. Actually is kinda boring.

I say it's okay because it is about half and half. Some of the teachers there are really great; they make sure each and every one of their students is actually understanding the material and they are letting the students engage. The other half of the teachers are judgmental, rude, and choose favorites. Often if you are not one of the favorites, you are found struggling or falling behind.

I am a former student of this school and I have to say that it just sucks. There are a few amazing teachers working and I did find some good out of a few classes but overall it was too easy and did not ready me completely for college life. The small town feeling made many of the students AND staff w...
