I've haven't graduated from there yet but I think the school is good to me so far. Sometimes the school can get a little to crazy regarding the students and staff but so far I like it

Its actually a pretty sucky school. The people there are unfocused and extremely disrespectful towards teachers and other students. The work is not challenging at all and there is a total disconnect between the students and the learning.

Perry was good with I was involved in groups that monitored my gpa and because I enjoyed them so much I did not let my grades fall. I enjoyed all of the 3 years I attended. I made friends that even though we are not all away at college together I still consider best friends and talk to often. I loved the football games and the way the school would be so excited on game days.

This school has helped me so much. I went from getting straight C's to straight A's and the teachers are very helpful. I did feel like I wouldn't fit in because I am a different race than most of the students that go here, but I've fit in perfectly and made lots of friends. I've experienced no bully...
