I attended the South Orange-Maplewood School District from K-12 and my experience varied based on my awareness of my surroundings. I believe that the schools stress diversity and being all inclusive, however there are a few issues regarding leveling diversity and not seeing enough minorities in higher level classes. I do love the schools however, especially Columbia High School, because everyone (staff, students, parents) were always trying to make the school a safe, loving place for everyone.

Of course I'd like more, but CHS focuses more on the performing arts. There's of potential in my district to improve it for low income families and colored students. CHS' health classes are lacking. Only two teachers I've known are great in that field. I just realized how far behind we are this year. My current teacher asked us if we learned about cpr and the class went "..."
