The worst parts of my school is the lack of discipline to some students. Here, students aren't scared of the consequences of their actions, which is something I think needs to be changed.

My experience at this school has been relatively good. There is little experiences of bullying I have faced, they have decreased the older I got and teachers are good with handling issues. They prepare us well for college and have many resources and clubs for students. The only thing I would change is that they focus their rules on unimportant issues like phones and backpacks.

This school is amazing - My son always says he loves his Science teacher - that she relates to the students in a way that help them connect to the material. It really helps to have a good staff in todays ever changing teen society.
