My experience with White Station so far since 10th grade has been amazing. Great teachers that actually care about the student education and well-being. Staff members are always on top.

Very good school I enjoy the time I have there, although I have not been a student there for the longest I've so far been enjoying it, and I'm enjoying the experience along with all my teachers and classmates!

The best parts of my high school experience were events when the student body would be heavily involved. The worst parts of my high school experience were times when the teachers were being overly critical. I would like to see more fun and interactive activities for students during school hours.

It is also winter and we don't even have heat in most classes. Some teachers even use their personal problem...
