The food is pretty good, and most of the teachers are nice, unfortunately there is a large quantity of kids who underhandedly make fun of other kids behind teaches backs using various words that teachers don't know.

The worst part is that I didn't find the counselors very helpful when it came to college planning or advising on CCP classes. The best part was the ability to take both AP and CCP classes.

The best part of my experience has been the amazing administration, and teachers. They will always point you in the right direction and help you out if you ever need anything. The worst part of my experience has been the racial problems I've had due to being a black student in a city that is 95% Caucasian.
