I really like the atmosphere at school. I've certainly met a lot of like-minded, smart, intelligent people at school who put time into what they work at.

My teachers were super supportive and gave help when I needed. The classes and programs the school offered were plenty and I had fun. I made friends at that school. The bad parts would be the some facilities are sometimes out of date. I hope they can update the school.

I had a considerably good time during my time in Balboa High school. Many teachers I had went out of their ways to motivate me and were very persistent on checking for students' mental health. A few other teachers were the opposite. A PE teacher disregarded my friend's asthma diagnosis and pushed her to do intense exercises. I think the administration could be more strict on students' violent behaviors to protect other students' safety. One teacher (currently retired) failed to manage the lockdown incident safely and informed our class it was just a drill and refused to lock the door.
