I really loved how diverse the school was. I felt very comfortable making new friends and talking to my teachers. My teachers were always so kind and they were also very knowledgeable when it came down to learning the topics we had to learn. Overall I loved the school and the people but sometimes I did feel unsafe because of fights

Over all the years i've attended Washington i'd say it was a great school but it could be better. But when I hit high school the only thing that got me motivated and going and keeping up in my classes was our Navy Junior ROTC program. It has helped and taught me so much, how to be a leader and how to take charge and has helped me attend in so much community service if it wasn't for this program I wouldn't be where I am now.
