I liked how small the classes were, and if you needed help on your school work someone was always there to help you. The buildings need to be updated.

I love the atmosphere and how teachers are actually trying to prepare all of their students for college. I've personally not been involved in sports, but there are a variety of extracurricular activities that reach out to many different kinds of students' preferences. Some class's school spirit may be low, but our Student Council is really trying to fix that issue. All-in-all, an excellent school (studies show that it's the best in a 2 hour radius!!!).

I used to live in California. I went to Mariposa High school. A beautiful place so to compare it to Licking, well, there's always room for improvement. Also there's a teacher here who literally sits at his desk and gives you assignments out of the book, no discussion.

from the elementary thru the high school the licking schools are simply very poorly conducted . The children start behind and never catch up . The teachers allow other children to disrupt the class and the sad thing is that children are grouped according to their status in the community thus you hav...
