My first year at Reading Senior High School was in 2021 for my sophomore year, I had just transferred and the school was very new to me. The school diversity was a big change seeing as the majority of the students were a minority at my old high school. The school is very big and has a lot of students. The school could be cleaner and there could be more bathrooms.

Reading Senior High School is a school that has many flaws, but the opportunities outweigh those flaws. There are so many activities you can do, which include sport, gaming, and art. I never realized how many opportunities there really were until this year. I'm fortunate enough to say that I will be a Reading High School graduate. The school years have had their ups and downs, but I wouldn't ask for a different high school experience.
