My 5 years at this school has been kind of rocky, I had to let it grow on me. Some teachers here are very nice, helpful and really care. They want to see us succeed in the future. Getting us ready for college and the outside world. I enjoy the help and I am open to all of them because they are willing.

I like that it is a small school and that you get to know everybody. The teachers here are nice and they give you a chance. They help you when you do't understand what to do and they know everybody's name. The only thing that I would change is that we don't have many extra curricular activities which means there isn't much to do.
