I would like to think that my overall experience was good and that the resources provided helped me prepare for college. Although I missed out on a year of in person learning, my school did the best that they could to provide everyone with a form of education during difficult times.

Herndon High School was good. It wasn't the best experience ever, but it wasn't bad. I would suggest they do more to prepare the youth for adulthood and the different paths in life one can take.

This school left me scarred, traumatized, and self-conscious. Sure, I got a decent education, but I was a social outcast humiliated by my peers while the administrators turned a blind eye to my situation. If your child is, generally speaking, a "weirder" type, i.e. louder, more spontaneous, or socia...
