My overall experience at Scott's branch high school has been well since I started my freshman year. There are lots of opportunities and the administration is amazing and works well with students to try to give us everything that works best for us. The worst part of my experience would be the food. There are lots of changes with it recently and even that isn't bad but it's just the most of a problem that I have.

My experience at Scott's Branch High School was a wonderful experience. Some good parts that happened to me were meeting my best friends that helped me become the young lady that I am. Being able to join clubs that took me out of my comfort zone. And meeting adults that trusted me and supported my decisions in my future. There was one bad experience at Scott's Branch such as other kids not being very nice towards each other. That experience made me feel that kids are very harsh towards each other and do not know how to get along. A change I would like to see would be more kids being nice to each other and being nice so that everyone can become friends.

I like the school because I graduate from there in 1989. Back then the school had a better staff than they got now, but it can get better if everyone teach and not judge.
