    I was able to take advanced placement and college courses while in Hugh school, which was nice. The food selection was terrible, many items are outdated and produce isn’t fresh. I had to pay for water because the water from the fountains is not always consumable. The administration was constantly changing and seemed to be out of touch with the students.
    Cairo-Durham high school is a very special high school for most students. Despite it's very small size, it does have a good range of sports, clubs and academic courses. Obviously, Cairo-Durham's issues mainly stem from it's small size, which could be both good or bad depending on your views. There is little diversity and not so quality facilities. However, because of it's size most of the students and teachers know each other and develop meaningful relationships.
