I've been attending Calvert High for almost 2 years and it has been really well. They settle disputes quick and make sure every student is safe while keeping up with academics.

Overall I've had a pretty good experience so far. I like that we have all honors classes and very helpful guidance counselors that help students whenever they need it. I also like the teachers in this school because they are always willing to help and make sure everyone is doing good. The main thing I don't like is the schedule.

I think that by attending this school, my academic achievement has been slowed. The teachers are not very goods, and the facilities seem as through they will fall down on us at any moment. I would attend another school in a heartbeat.
