I have loved my time at Covenant High School. School culture, academics, and college readiness are things this school does well, however, with only one sports team, and some hiring issues the school is having trouble attracting students. I think if the school were to continue there strength in some areas, and double-down on fixing the issues I have seen then it would be the best school for anyone in Pierce County.

The staff and faculty are genuinely interested in the students. The student body is small enough so...
