The best parts of my experience include retreats, e-weeks, lower school years, and my advisory. The worst parts include how everyone (in 7th grade at least) gossips about each other and bullies each-other and there is just so much drama and so many rumors it's terrible for everyone's mental health and the teachers do nothing, it's honestly so stressful.

A great school with an excellent focus on experiential education. I had a great time there. It won't be for everyone, especially considering it's quite small, but it's a school that I'm very glad I went to.

Your experience at Bush will widely depend on how much effort you put in. The academics are intense and the workload can be stressful, but if organize your time well and meet with teachers when you're struggling then you should not have any issues. The school is small so sometimes social activities are nonexistent however, the size of the school can work toward your benefit because you will become very close with the limited students in your class.

Your mental health WILL deteriorate. No one goes in and comes out the same, everyone is constantly in a state of EXTREME stress. You might feel challenged but it comes at the expense of your mental well being.
