Blanche ely high school has some of the best science and math teachers that teaches with passion and actually prepare their students, which I really appreciate, but I don't support administration and the food that they serve the students. Administration can be difficult to work with at times when it comes to students trying to solve academic problems, based off of my experience and the food is very low quality, not appealing to the eyes nor mouth, and is not nutritious.
