I think my overall experience at this school was not terrible but I know that there are plenty of better schools in the area that I would attend if I didn't have such good friends here. I'd really like to see better teachers in certain subjects because the level of good or decent teaching really varies and admin does nothing about it.

Having parents be more involved. Sending out letters for parents to be more involved. Having fun activities so families can attend. Fundraising more for helping with keeping end of year (prom) tickets lower.
