Open Quote I sadly had to spend 4 years at this school, SOME teachers were pretty great, but the basic of this school is if you aren't popular or in a sport then basically you're set up for failure. That is all I got out of this school, as well as way overpriced lunch. My doctor diagnosed me with anxiety and depression that I got from high school, before-hand I was fine.
On top of that, I had fallen and injured my knee and had, as my teachers syllabus said was required, a doctors hand written note saying I was not to be walking across to Harvest to assist a teacher for my class. Not only did she say I had to anyway, but the superintendent did not cancel school as stated in the rules when its less than -30 degrees. So I had to trudge through the snow in crutches and -35 degree weather.
Building wise, it was very decent. Other than most of the bathrooms having some part of it broken (often one toilet flooding the floor). I wish I never went here. Close Quote
