I'm a student of Benito in 2016. The school has a lot of excellent teachers and facuilty, they have a lot of knowledgeable teachers, and i feel I had been taken care of. Some things I would've want changed would be the uncommon fun gatherings that we have, it occurs way to low. I don't feel like I could have fun, and it's all work work work. But overall I had a lot of fun attending this school.

I'm surprised one of them didn't get reported after yelling at a student down the hall (everyone could hear hi...
