The environment that I have been around while I've got to school here is great. Everyone is so tightly knit together and everyone knows everyone.

Springfield High has a galore of amazing people there to teach, but a few aren't so good with teaching. As a student, I want to see the school change. The bathrooms are rarely accessible due to mishaps, the halls seem closed in, and the cafeteria feels like a jailhouse. There also isn't too many school events to keep the students pumping and motivated.

The school, education wise, is outstanding. Lots of clubs, activities, and well behaved students. The problem I have is Dr. Grimes, the current principal. He shows favoritism towards certain groups of students and allows them to fly under the radar, and judges students based on appearances. He is al...
