I think our school has pretty engaging and interesting teachers that are pretty good with the material and are able to relate to and teach the pupils effectively. The lunch is pretty good for a middle school. I do wish our school had more advanced features and technology, but we're able to make do with what we possess. I enjoyed middle school much more than elementary. Love, CCCCCHHHHAAADDD ;)
