I love my school and i have a lot of love for it but our school struggles to keep teachers and staff from year to year. This is making it hard to for connections with teachers and students and creates a feeling of insecurity. Every year students have to see a teacher they loved leave. Our administrators have changed 4 times in the last year and they struggle to understand how a small town school works making it harder for the students in the school.

Teachers and admissions ready you for college and there expenses as well encourages you to get into clubs, what I like is that they care for you and what you do after you have left from there school, what could be different is the lack of clubs, they have lots of clubs but they could have more.

It is a pretty average high school. Many of the teachers are kind and always willing to help. There are always a few teachers who were not very helpful.

This school specializes in one thing, not sports or academics, but it specializes in a very strong school enforced social heirarchy. The leaders of the school make sure their kids get the highest honors, especially spots on varsity sports or entrance into the valor victorian race even though they ha...

They did nothing to prevent bullying. I would wait 20-25min in the lunch line, pay full price for a lunch, and they wouldn't give me the full lunch I payed for. I would be hungry all day. It was so COLD in the winter. and HOT in the summer. The parking lot dosent have security cameras, even though y...
