I really enjoy the sense of belonging at Andrada Polytechnic High School. My peers and teachers motivate me to stay on top of my school work, as well as providing me with support outlets. However, some of the students can be quite unpleasant. This can go for every school though, as each campus offers an array of students.

Overall, the school was pretty decent and had some nice facilities. The teachers were mostly good except there were a few creeps. I would definitely change that.
