The best part about this school is that the school really wants students to succeed. This School makes sure that students education matters, and provides the most feasible options that will help achieve their goals. The worst part of my experience would be that the school does not provide many AP classes, which I would like to take to make college a little easier and cheaper.

High school really is only what you make of it. Massac might not have the funding and budget of a school in Chicago, but it has the heart and backing of great teachers to be on par. Dual-credit, AP, job occupations, and so many other offerings make Massac a great choice for people considering many different life paths.

It's no wonder the school is bad. They insist on keeping that math teacher that was in trouble. He's a horrible role model on the diamond, too.
