I enjoy my small school because the community is tight-knit. The Teachers know and care about the student's education which is appreciated. My biggest complaint (specific) about the school is the bus situation and lack of funding. Our bus breaks down very frequently which leads to missing bus routes and delays at the school. We are not allowed to take them on field trips out of fear of them breaking. While most schools pay for kid's entry fees to ski races ours comes out of pocket. This can be a hindrance.

Small school so I enjoyed that the teachers were able to give one on one attention but there was also a lot of activities that were not available to us.

The bullying here is very little but when it does happen the teachers will provide a meeting place with the victim and the bully and will find a way to solve the problem in a calm and collected manner. There is also no gang violence here.
