I entered 6th grade very nervous but I ended up having an over all good experience. I made the honor roll, managed to finally have a solid group of friends, and had great teachers (for the most part)
7th grade happened tho and it sucked. If you end up on side A then I am so sorry for you. My grades began to drop (became an average student), got stressed out more and the science teacher is the only good teacher on that side. Everyone agrees the side B was way better.
8th grade was great though. At the beginning it was weird but by the end (March) I was getting great grades and was very prepped for high school.
The other negatives are that the Spanish teacher can't teach, and tech is boring.

the teachers are v good up to 8th grade, on both sides there is a teacher who is hated for being v mean.2 of the teachers on side b, are the worst. they both give out almost 8 times the amnt of work as 7th grade, after giving an explanation thats lacking. on the side i got put on, i got separated from most of the friends i had the previous year, and now have only one class with 2 of the friends on the other side. the admins need to change bc they promise us things, then dont do the things. they are EXTREMELY hard on everyone abt attendance, they keep cutting it lower and lower and this year you only get 10 unexcused absences and if you get 3 then they send a letter home "from the da" to scare your parents to never let you stay home again or else there "will be court action" (if u go over 10)i hate this school and the teachers and its tearing apart my mental health and the relationship i have with my parents.
The AC could be improved- not great. The school had great teachers and support for the student body. the security is a little lacking. Need to make sure that every visitor is buzzed in .
With the new technology update the classrooms and computer labs have become even more advanced
We were always provided the option to run on the track or play on the new football field
While attending I met students from all over the country as well as students and kids from all over the world
Provided an EXCELLENT environment for community service!
When having issues with bullying the staff was very helpful, they took the time to sit down with my family and I and figure out what the next steps would be.
