Let me start off by saying this; I appreciate my school very much! My teachers are absolutely wonderful educators and deserve a hefty raise for how much they care for their students and lessons. The administration is so-so and definitely could give teachers more of the support that they need. Our maintenance and cafeteria staff always have a smile on their face and happy to help at any time. In other words, the staff is terrific. Unfortunately, the school’s culture is toxic and complacent. The students here have such an unwillingness to learn and refuse to put forth any effort into school. Although this is not true of everyone, this problem is rampant throughout the campus and leaves a lot of the teachers I have spoken to feeling frustrated.
This school is located in a small community, where most people know most everyone. The school is small enough to get to know students, but still large enough to select some of your own classes. There are a few things that need changing, like the breakfast and lunch served, as well as the serving portions. It is good in that all students currently receive free meals, but the serving sizes (like only 4 chicken nuggets) just is not enough to be considered a meal for high school students. The school is very family oriented, and most of the teachers and administrators will help students in any way they possibly can.
One thing I love about my school is how close all the students and teachers become. Since it is a small school, most of us have the same classes together. The teachers also are able to have one on one time with most students who need it. My school experience here has overall been great. I have made many memories with my friends here and have gotten to know many of my teachers on another level than I would at a larger school since most of them are sports coaches and club sponsor. The teachers get to know you on a personal level; this has helped me a lot when it comes to learning in the classroom because it doesn't seem like the teachers are teaching as much as they are trying to help guide you throughout life.
