My personal experience at monache high school has not been of the best but it was not all bad but mostly negatives ranging from corrupt administration to negative interactions with councilors and many occurrences of violence on campus as well as threats and a not very inclusive or friendly community on campus with many teacher turning blind eye and not correcting negative behaviors
