Besides the overcrowded classrooms and the terrible lunch my overall experience in this school has been interesting. I got to do things I never though I would’ve done. I got to meet amazing teachers, discovered myself, and made some lifelong friends. The teachers at this school really care about their students’ futures and do everything possible so that they are on the right path. If you ever needed someone to talk to most of the teachers we’re willing to listen to you. Cross Keys is very diverse in terms of ethnicity, it brings everyone just a little closer and that’s the reason why I made so many of my friends today! I got to graduate from this school and hopefully I get the chance to visit again.
Cross Keys is promising. I have seen first hand the general environment improve over the last 10 years through me and my family. Cross Keys gives me the impression that they care about their students. They provide many opportunities for students who are not as privileged as many other students in the U.S. This is a school that wants every student to succeed, and with the background of many of the students, they take the right approach and they do not try to force anything on the students. The teachers especially care about their students, and they aren't afraid to go into their own pockets to see an individual succeed.
I enjoy my overall experiences at Cross Keys High School. Cross Keys was the school in my district that was known for its bad reputation such as drugs, fights, and bad football team. My first year at Cross Keys was something like a summer haze, I built friendships, celebrated my birthday, and even fell in love. What seemed like a nightmare a day before attending the school, wound to actually be a wonderful ordeal. I for one have never seen a more tightly knitted community, everyone had common interests and just wanted to get their education. It surprised me that the rumors that surrounded the school were actually due to some bad apples who, unfortunately, ruined the reputation of the building. Although the school does not have a great reputation I want to personally rebuttal it with my personal success and end its bad reputation with a more formidable one. If my experiences in Cross Keys were summed up in one sentence it would be, a shaky start that formed into an astounding journey.
