I have learned a lot of life lessons in this school and I am grateful for the amazing electives we have to choose from. There is just fighting at times and they could be giving us bigger portions at lunch. I would also like to see the heating and air conditioning fixed. This is because I feel like the school spends money on pointless things like turf, when we could be spending money on more food and heating for the school during winter. I have also had some questionable experiences with some teachers, but for the most part they are positive and I don't dread the class.

Queensbury High School has overall been a great experience. All of the teachers I've had have all been extremely dedicated to their jobs and ensured that I have received a good education. I would like to see some more diversity, but seeing as I live in a predominantly white area this may be difficult. Also more funding for the music program, not enough attention is given to that department at QHS.
