Administration seems to be lacking in many areas. Most of them just don't seem in touch with the student body. Good teachers are threaten with being fired while mediocre teachers are safe guarded.

Southwest is great because of the people there. I've met my best friends and most helpful mentors there. They run the school similar to a college so the kids who don't go to class are dealt with and the students who do learn outside the book.

I have even at Little Rock southwest for 4 years. This year will be my last and it's very bittersweet. I love the environment and all the fun things we do. The worst part of my experience would be the light we are portrayed in and the way we are sought out to be. I would love to see the school have more diversity and be a safer and cleaner place.
