I'm grateful for still receiving an education but there are many things about my school that I wish were different. The worst part is that we offer no honors classes and have very few ap classes you can take. The best part is involvement with the students, while they could try harder, they still get us involved.

I, myself, have seen many students have rough relationships with the administration staff. But some good parts are the teaching staff who make up for the administration.

The transition from middle school to high school was pretty smooth for me considering I already had friends there, knew multiple teachers, and overall get along with people well. Although my experience has been well, i've noticed people who aren't in a position like mine seem to have trouble finding a place at the school.

This school is awful. The staff bullies students just as much as the students. The "resource officers" talk about the female students and stare at them. The whole school should be shut down and redone.
