It's pretty good, yes, there's kids who might be homophobic or racist, but teachers try their best to get onto them. The teachers I've had made an effort to connect to the kids, and always did their best to have after school hours open for anyone who needed help. There's clubs that I've been in that are amazing, and there's always something for everyone to join if they make that effort. Only downside is the very few racist and homophobic kids.

Throughout my time in high school there have been constant disruptions because of construction. Our school is constantly adding new projects onto its list and always being disrupted by these projects. The administration of Saint James does not listen to its own student body. This leads to a disconnect between admins and the student and creates a less than desirable environment for high school. There have been positives to my school. Through my school I was able to gain many certifications and become potentially career ready because of programs provided. The teachers and friends I've met have been a positive impact on my character.

I felt like I was handed everyt...

I am a student here and enjoy the much caring staff. They really try their best to support us and prepare us for schooling in the future. Though our school has a few rules that should definitely be changed, I think all in all my education here is decent and something to be proud of.
