Since 2022, I've felt a lack of support from most staff at this school. The JROTC program has been the only exception; their instructors made me feel included by taking the time to know me personally. Their encouragement was key in helping me consider the military after graduation. While some teachers have been helpful, they are a small minority.

If you keep to yourself and ignore everybody, i'd say you'll get through it just fine. School atmosphere isn't too nice, kids fight a lot but the educations pretty good if you pay attention and try.

Although I like school, I would not suggest this school to anyone in the region. Some instructors are extremely respectful of their students, while others are completely disrespectful. I wouldn't say it's completely the student's fault for being distraught, but the administration also plays a role,...
