Over all as a school it's a god place to learn. Lots of teachers are so sweet and some are so nice to others. I created so many relationships with people. It has its faults with the way it solves things but it's a good place.

I have enjoyed my time at Memorial for the past 4 years. I have made many memories and loved every second of it. The teachers are all super understanding and helpful and I've never had a problem with a teacher I have had.

This school is by far the worst ever and I know because I went there and let me say that the teachers don't care about the students. Also they let other students bully each other and don't even do anything about it. Plus the teachers are so rude
