The best part of the school is the teachers. All the teachers are super nice and will help you if needed. All the teachers I've had so far have been some of the best ones yet. The worst part in my opinion of the school is some of the student. The students get rowdy and don't listen to the teachers or the administration. But aside from those few kids, the school is a great place to be. If they were to change anything about the school, I would hope to see better student attitude. It is important to see the students being nicer to each other, not hating others, and bringing people down.
