My positive experiences at Ralston High School would be the diversity in classmates, and certain teachers impacting me in other students in a positive way.

A thing about Ralston High School is that it is a school that's not the best at the moment, but is trying to become better which is really good. From my time as a senior here for now, it hasn't been the best experience, but it's not the worst either. Some teachers take their professions a bit too seriously which can get a bit repetitive and ruin the learning experience. Overall it was an okay, I don't regret much here, but I feel like there were a lot of things that could have been better if the culture of the school was better.

I had a very positive experience with good teachers and coaches. However I was also in advanced classes where kids never need punished and on varsity sports were kids were more devoted to the sport. I know other people who have not had a positive experience because they are in grade level classes and the jv or freshman sports teams. Not enough attention is given to those people
