What I like about my high school is that it has a little bit of everything, and if you feel like something is missing you can always talk to the administration and start almost anything new, or bring something from another school to yours. Like my best friend and I did when we started our own club.

I like that the school was small and the classroom sizes was small and three teachers new you by name. One thing that I think should change, is how long the classes were and not to mix different grades together.
