Honestly, I have had a great time at Bear Grass Charter School. It may not have been the best in every single aspect, but there have definitely been parts that I don't think I would be able to experience at another school. For example, some of the teachers there, both middle school and high school, were amazing teachers. They were kind, generous, understanding, and, most of all, helpful when I needed help on an assignment or understanding a topic. That being said, there are definitely some negative aspects at my school, including the fact that I have had a few bad experiences with the staff. However, I think that, overall, the school is pretty nice. It's not very big, so the teachers and students are closer together than they would be in a big school. Ultimately, I think my school is great, but I still can't wait for college.
