This school makes a good effort to keep the students safe by running drills and having a policeman on the school grounds during the day and at sporting events. All teachers have a ID on them at all times also. This school is pretty safe I believe, though I do not feel safe here. Perhaps because I am just not used to it here and feel like an outcast around most other students.

They are dedicated and give up time to help their students. Many of them are very likable people and love their work. I have never had a problem with a teacher here, since I choose to stay on task most of the time. Most teachers will put forth the same effort as you do, and that I believe is a great method that I plan to use one day as well. They also use examples in the real world to explain certain material throughout their lessons. My health teacher does an exceptional job at it.
