Administration is completely disrespectful. Neither teachers nor administration treats students with respect or care

I would love to see more emphasis on college process, more college prep classes, applying to college classes for students and parents.

In terms of my high school experience, I have had a strong connection to the performing arts. The performing arts and sports at Walpole High School have made it enjoyable. The teachers are supportive, but some of them do not seem to care enough about what they are teaching, which is evident to the students.
