My general experience at Patrick Henry High School has been decent. I have had hardly any real problems with the teachers, althought the administration is a bit slow to respond.

One great thing about the school is that it's very easy to navigate, all the halls are marked and most of the teachers can guide you to where you need to go.

Patrick Henry could improve by combining the separate cultures and allowing the students to learn from others and their backgrounds. The teachers could improve by allowing students to get more involved in lessons instead of doing individual work.
