Sonoran science academy is an overall good school, however there are things that they do in fact lack. For example, our school lunch is something students dislike the most, it sometimes doesn't look edible, causes stomach aces, and take too long to receive. Another thing they lack is effort, I know our school tries to give the best to their students, but sometimes it looks like no effort was put into things us students were looking forward to. However, despite lacking in some aspects, there are also positive outcomes as well. Most of the teachers there sincerely value, educate, and care for their students well being and future. This school does have advantages of being a big family, as an older sister, I don't have to worry about not seeing my siblings until the end of the day, instead I can walk to their classroom and feel at ease.
