I absolutely love this school. There has never been any problems with anything or anyone. It's very friendly here and people are nice. I love that it's not overflowing with students because being around so many people could be stressful for some people. I love the teachers and appreciate them and all the staff for doing their job and keeping things under control. Also, there are many good resources that other schools might not have the opportunity to have. I enjoy being here with my friends and it's honestly fun :)
