The best parts of the school are the activities and the opportunities to something better like trips, teachings about college, and just having opportunities that'll go towards your record for college. The worst part for me is that some faculty gives "special privileges" so disruptive students but if the good students have one bad day something is wrong with them. So, I'll say that I would like to see a change in communication and just to come together overall.
