The best part was the community and and events we would do together. The worst parts can be how unwelcome your classmates are and would like to see change in being more respectful with each other.

I liked how big the campus is, the math and English teachers I've had, the acting class is really fun, and the theater is big and nice. Something that could improve are the restrooms, they're old and beat up, some stalls don't close, the sinks don't work, the mirrors are dirty and scratched, another thing is the food, it's mostly unhealthy and it could improve.
