So I am currently going to Herbert Hoover Middle School, and I will not disclose what grade I am in. I will just write about the school and experience. I think there are some great things about this school, but also a lot of things that the school can do to improve the experience. Firstly, teachers are often bias in this school. This includes calling on names and just giving grades. I will not name teacher names, but there are some that are greatly disliked because of class bias as well. Second, our school isn't the best academically compared to other school, especially in competitions and stuff. That does not mean we're a terrible school it just means we need better teachers for that stuff. There is a lot more, but I can't express that information in this message. I want to add that there are good people in this school, but there are also some people that are just not great (students and teachers alike). Yeah, so I think this school isn't too great, and I don't know if I recommend it.

The kids at this school are quite racist and homophobic, however, that is changing. As for daily life, bullying is normal and homework is abundant.

Pretty good school, teachers though are either really conservitive and will go on rants about how being gay is a sin, or really nice. Kids are somewhat racist and most are extremily homophobic. (the county itself does not really care about minorities, specificly gay and trans people) Counsellers are...

The School is Great for any kid they have a GREAT learning environment and they also have a FANTASTIC Chinese Program. The teachers and staff are very supportive and are always there to help.
