Overall, I have had a good experience. I love the teachers. My favorite part is the extracurricular activities. I also feel very safe at this school. My least favorite part is how much I have had to change.

I liked the schedule flexibility that Salida High School allowed; it really helped with my ability to do more things outside of school. However, I do think that sometimes I did not have enough resources to plan for my future.
