School Reviews

I suggest that you do go to this school. I say that you should because, I go to this school, and i know just about everything about it. This is a pretty great school if you ask me. Although, its lunches are not the best, do not mistaken the "Catfish strips" for chicken tenders. You only make that mistake once...... Haha. but this school has fabulous teachers!! You can form very close bonds with the teachers at this school, to the point to where you can almost tell them everything. Yep, that's how close you can become with these teachers!!! I love this school, and yea, yea, it DOES have its downfalls too. This school does, however, have a lot of drama (if you're a girl), and it also has its "popular" people, and yep, you try to compeat with them but me. I don't do that. I am the cool girl of the school. Yea everyone knows me, but that does not make me popular, now does it? You don't have to be popular to fit in. I'm just the cool girl with a lot of friends. But, anyways, long story short, this is a really great school, and i highly suggest that you come here, if your not already. , .
