Overall, the general information given to us to learn was extremely repetitive. The same textbooks were used for 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, and the material we went over was the same. I had good experiences with the teachers, but wish that I could have learned more.

I believe our school is very safe and I never showed up to school not feeling safe. There was almost always a nurse on staff at the school and we were able to see her whenever we felt like we needed to without a question.

I think this school is great because I have received a great education and the teachers are willing to help with whatever it takes as long as you are willing to put the work into it. I think that the students in this school are kind and are willing to help anyone who needs help and that there is a positive connection within the student body and a positive environment for me to be in.

Experience was terrible. The school is not driven to help kids excel. There is a lot of harassment and bullying going on that the school knew about and they did nothing about it.
