We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

the best part was the diversity and culture of the school. However there are teachers who don't exactly help you understand the course or give assignments that don't help much with preparing for tests.

The best parts of my school are the community and the extracurriculars. The worst parts are the facilities and the lack of diverse course options. I would like to see better access to resources and knowledge regarding college, SATs, ACTs, and dual enrollment.

We appreciate Dr. Anderson'...
