Vancleave High School is a small town school where everyone knows everyone. In my experience as a military kid, who went to multiple different schools, Vancleave was overall friendly and a good experience. The one thing that would benefit from change would be the Counselors, they could be better at helping all of the students, and be more open door with everyone.
