Bland High School is really good at connecting the teachers and the students. The reason for this being, it is a small school, so in turn, the teachers know their students. They care for you and want you to succeed. The teachers' goal is to teach you the concepts not to fail you.

My experience in Bland High School has been great, I have had great teachers and they have helped me a lot throughout my years in high school, if it wasn't for the great help and care of my teachers, I would not be were I am now. It has not been an easy ride, there has been ups and downs but I have managed to get through every obstacle that came up, my teachers never gave up on me, they pushed me until I realized that I could do anything If I set my mind to it. Bland high school has helped me a lot, educationally as well as mental growth, everything I once doubted they helped me get through it and make it come true.

The students are very judgmental, and cliquey. The only things that really matter to this school are sports an...
