We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From my experience of being a student at Vancleave High School, I have noticed things that I admire and dislike. Something I admire is the way the staff and administrators interact with students. Their positive attitudes are crucial in a student's daily life, and they do well at that. Something I dislike is the diversity and lack of respect from some students. However, Vancleave High School is a great school.

And the administration is garbage...
