My experience as an Esperanza student has been an amazing journey because the teachers as well as the environment is a place where you feel safe. But the school is too strict on certain policies that I personally don't agree with. Now, something I would like to see change is the uniform policy because it is extremely expensive, especially when the school is aware most of the students attending Esperanza comes from a low-income family.

Esperanza gave me an experience that allowed me to enjoy my high school years have fun and still get the best education I could have received in Philadelphia. The staff in the school pushed and pushes all their students to work hard and provides all the help we need to move forward. I am proud to have graduated from this High school!
