My experience and Martin Luther King has been good. Im a honor roll student and have all honor classes. I'm thankful to have teachers that understand and are willing to help downside is sometimes the class can get really loud in this hard to understand the teacher. Part is I would change. having more programs partnerships, take trips in to different colleges to better prepare you for them.

I love my school. Love the name. Some students try a or are trying to do there best but the crappy attitude of teachers, staff and peers hinder such dedication. I am focus an content, so whatever they do doesn't bother me unless it interferes with my work, grades or learning. Also, the ignorance of people are unbearable but it doesn't happen a lot.

Students make it difficult for pther students to learn. Their ignorance hurts intelligence students. The teachers are great though, but if they had better students, it would be a satisfying school.
