11/8/2023

I graduated in 2019. Most of the time spent here was pretty good. The majority of my peers were friendly and came from different backgrounds. It was easy to understand the different cultures presented in my school life. The teachers were very welcoming and brought the classroom to life. Though the academics weren't anything special, I did enjoy learning here. My general experience was a fun and good time.

We recently moved and Dillard Drive was our assigned school. Compared to her past experiences, we have not seen improvements in her academics...
