Nice teachers, so-so students. Sometimes administration makes bizarre rules that punish the entire student body. It's a fun place if you have friends.

Many good teachers but not nearly enough academic resources for advanced students. For years only three AP classes have been offered. Guidance counselors don't help much with the college application process or encourage application to prestigious schools. Cultural issues such as lack of diversity and misogyny on the part of some teachers and students.

The teachers here are amazing, too bad the students are terrible peers. Everyone is so white and there's a really big culture of xenophobia because everyone there is a carbon-copy of each other; there isn't any room for outside voices.
