I like my school to a degree. It lacked the feeling of home. The food wasn't very good and the respect wasn't always reciprocated.

Overall, my experience at Staples-Motley was decent for a small town high school. I think they could improve a bit with the food and facilities, but I know that it does come down to budget.
