Some of the best parts of my school, Genoa Central High School, are getting to see my friend, having teachers who are good at teaching, and being able to get any help I need. There aren't many bad parts but a few I can think of are some of the people here, and not being able to have color guard because of the small size of the band. Something I would like to see change is some of the food options in the lunchroom, but it has gotten better over the years.

Genoa Central High School is just your average school. There are good people and people you may not want to be around. Bullying is not a huge problem here and it is very much so a great school. The students happily accept new students and staff.

Really good school up until 10th grade biology. Creationism runs rampant. I'd steer clear, if you value a decent education for your kid.
