I enjoyed the atmosphere of the school and the friendliness and willingness of teachers to be at your side at any moment. However, the school's inclusivity of the arts was poor as sports overruled everything.

I liked how the teachers are very intentional and they have this strive to want to know about their students. I want to see my school change in how they talk about and promote bullying. I think they are still lenient with what or what is not bullying.
