My overall with the school that I attend and will be graduating from is not bad. The school has nice academics, many of the teachers here expect you to do well and are willing to help you accomplish that goal. There are a lot of sports, clubs and social groups that one maybe able to join if interested.

Overall, my time at Mid-Carolina has been good. I've always been able to get a good education and be able to have help when needed. There are a lot of ways the students are able to participate and show their school spirit. I would like to see more students participate but other than that I have no complaints about Mid-Carolina.
