having being a senior at the high school for law advocacy and community Justice, I would overall rate my experience about a 9/10. I specifically picked the school due to the fact that it would prioritize my law interest. With a verity of law classes, such as pre-law, law, government, and economics. It is giving me the success. I need within my desired major study to learn more about the subject as well as the core elements

It's okay. This school says they provide certain things but never bring it up. Honestly, this isn't very "law" school.

The school overall is great, great supportive community and staff members, I love the way how they encourage us as students to do our utmost best and that we stay focus, theOnlyProblem I have is that there is very little variety in the food choices and for me since i have a big appetite the portions are small, but other than that it's a really wonderful school no matter what most people say
