I really enjoy my school. But I'm not sure I am really prepared for college. Or at least for the higher end colleges I'm interested in. I want to be well prepared for college.
1/7/2024
The best part of my experience was being able to make friends from all the clubs at the school and going to football games. The worst part was the block schedule it makes everything difficult.
1/2/2024
My school is super diverse, one of the most diverse schools in our state. All our teachers do a good job of allowing to help others and giving students a safe place to be. I feel our school I pretty well run, but one thing I feel is missing is helping out with more college prep and what you have to do in order to apply, we don't have a set in stone mandatory sitting, but we do have a college and career center that is super nice and helpful. Overall my school is wonderful and I'm glad to be apart of the community.
