My best parts were connecting with other students and gaining experiences through extracurriculars. However, college readiness and resources were very low, I felt extremely underprepared and oblivious when it came to getting ahead and gaining stats for college applications

High school is one of the most significant stages in any student's life. Not only does it represent the threshold between adolescence and adulthood, but it is also a time of academic, social, and personal development. When teachers do not limit themselves to following a rigid curriculum, but instead encourage critical thinking and intellectual curiosity, students are more motivated to learn. This is the time when many young people begin to make important decisions about their future, such as choosing a career or preparing for college. A school that offers a challenging and enriching academic environment, a safe and diverse environment, and opportunities for personal development, provides students with the tools necessary to face the future with confidence. At the end of the day, the **high school experience** is both a journey toward knowledge and an opportunity to discover who we are and how we want to contribute to the world.

Most of the teachers are very knowledgeable and are helpful when discussing college readiness. Teachers there provide amazing support when discussing mental health. However, the school has a small reputation for fights. Overall, the school has up its safety by requiring people to go through metal detectors before entering the campus and having students scanning IDs.
