Tuesday, September 29, 2015

The school is great education wise, I have been going there since the 6th grade, this year will sadly be my last. The teachers are mostly nice towards kids and seem to like their jobs, the only downsides to the school are the scheduling, the lunch, and the bugs, although the bugs aren't as bad as they were in 6th grade, they are still there.The schedules this year are all over the place, I am forced to move from one end of the school, to the other, in less than 5 minutes, by the time I get to class, I'm exhausted! The last problem is the lunch, I tend not to trust the meat here, because I am worried that it isn't cooked right, but like the bugs, it has gotten better over the years. Overall, the school is amazing, and the education is top notch, I have gotten all A's and B's throughout the years. I think that this school i good for kids that want to challenge themselves Close Quote
