Its fine, but transportation is a bit of an issue. A lot of time that could have been used to study, etc. is instead eaten up by waiting for the bus or on it. You cant be busy here if you don't drive or if your parents can't pick you up from school.

I'd like to see more interested in our performing arts. We've faced huge budget cuts recently despite the sports programs retaining funding. Most of the teachers here are great, but a few are positively awful.

Over my 3 years of attending Stadium High School, I have lacked the experience that I most would call the "standard." Constant fights, teacher disrespect, and poor school spirit are just some of the things wrong with the school. While college readiness is pushed, it's not talked about until senior year and didn't know about scholarships or how much volunteering I should do.
