Personally, this school is not so bad, but realistically this school has such a low budget. There are barely any trash cans, not to mention very few teachers. However, I can say most of those teachers are supportive. Overall, this school is not perfect and its only problem is the shortage of money, which could afford more supplies, staff, etc.
