Patrick county high school isn't the best of the best. There isn't much diversity there are great teachers as well as bad. Some of the worst experiences I myself had to deal with would be racism from peers and teachers. I would like to see that change and I would like for the teachers and principals to be more open to creative ideas their students may have.

I don't really mind my school. The teachers are okay, and we have a safe environment. There's not that many fights. The lunch food isn't the greatest, but no school really has good food. I do not like the fact that seniors are not allowed to leave for lunch without having to be called out every day. The principal is okay.

Patrick County is a small town with a small high school and that's what makes it great. It also has outstanding horticulture classes that was the highlight of my schooling.

The bullying and discrimination are through the roof. If you find your group with your type of friends, you'll be fine. Some teachers are extremely annoying and unbearable, but some teachers absolutely rock your world. it's all about who you associate with.
