Open Quote Star Spencer has brought me many learning experiences, whether it may be academically , out on the softball field, or learning Army values from JROTC. We have great teachers! Smaller size classes and the student to teacher ratio is small.
Star Spencer is always given bad credit but as a junior who is ranked number 3 in my class i would like to say that Star Spencer offers great opportunities. Close Quote
