A majority of the teachers I had are understanding for the most part but also bland. Coming to school everyday was no excitement for me but I didn't dread it.

The faculty was for the most part helpful, even on a personal level. Most doing above and beyond for each student. Understanding of personal issues. Not all the faculty was like this. I would like to see all the faculty doing the most for their students.

What I like most about the school is the atmosphere and the majority of the teachers. I would love to see the priorities change. I think more emphasis should be on academics rather than sports.
