The best was having a small class that could be focused on and was allowed more privileges than other schools. The worst was the lack of diversity. I would like to see improved infrastructure and cultural diversity in the future.

I like how the teacher is more than just teachers, they care about all the student's weel being and make sure they become successful. I like to see more help in bullying from students.

The teachers can come off as insensitive and uncaring sometimes but they do understand their jobs and what they are teaching most of the time. Most teachers are more than willing to help struggling students whenever they ask for help or seem to be having a hard time.

I am currently attending this school and all that matters is sports and ffa if you aren't in any of those activities, they don't really care. Academics is suppose to be #1 and it's not. I hate this school it's all drama and heartache. I'm so very glad I'm a senior now.
