Although the school is great academically, I feel as though student life isn't prioritized as well. It's mostly work, and little play and I think that that depresses most students. The only thing they care about is how good our grades are. But, they've gotten us ready for college, and not all faculty is bad. I've made some great relationships with a couple of my teachers. Turner and Harbour are the best! Also, because of diversity, it's pretty easy to fit in somewhere.
MLK started out easy. I’ve made many friends at this school. I’ve also had 2 unforgettable teachers this year in math and biology and they both were excellent, kind and made the subjects fun. I loved having them! However, I did have 1 teacher this year that did not care about the way students liked their class. The teacher didn’t care about my physical well-being. I think they should have cared, encouraged students and gave more help. I struggled a lot in their class and i’ve had friends who struggled more than I did to the point of failing. As school went on, homework and exam load increased to the point that it’s extremely stressful for many students. It’s hard to handle stress. I’ve experienced a lot of stress from workloads. I also feel discouraged by how school ended. I didn’t have opportunities to say goodbye to my friends on the last day of school due to final exams. Overall, I feel like I learned a lot this year from MLK and my amazing teachers.
I love MLK! The school is very rigorous and challenging, however it’s very beneficial and conducive later in life. It’s very diverse and welcoming, I would definitely recommend.
