The overall experience here is amazing and can sometimes be stressful sometimes but I pull through, The worst part of this school would be the food, and the way they treat people when they are in a deep depression and try to attempt, the school just sends them to the hospital and send them home after 24 hours. This school I believed should have done better and try to help them.

The best part of Mt. Edgecumbe High School is the academics. Coming from a small village, this school opens up many opportunities that prepare us for our futures beyond the villages. One of my worst experiences at this school is the food. The food is usually okay, but it just seems like they don't know how to cook. It's always too plain or that it has too much seasoning. Another thing I don't like about this school is the dorm staff. There is always favoritism, it seems like they don't care about some of us. They treat us all differently. I would like to see the food change and the way they treat the students.
