Overall Limestone Community High school has given me the best high school experience I could have imagined. It is a very welcoming school that offers many activities for students to stay involved. The school has implemented safety regulations and takes the well being of students into consideration.

As a senior, I can not say that I had the full High School experience. This school has expelled more kids this year than in past years due to fights and bullying. This should not be okay. We should not be forced to worry about when the next fight will break out, or when we will get put in a hold in place because of a fight that happens to break out in front of everyone. It's not fair to the other students and the staff doesn't do much about it.
