The school provides great opportunities for the people who really take advantage of them. People who are able to get ahead and take college classes while in high school can graduate with many college credits. However, there are many kids who get stuck and struggle to come up with enough credits to graduate. The school is not built for everyone. Also, the administration does not always support the kids in all their needs. There is a lot of teacher turnover which makes it harder for the students to lasting a real connection with the teachers.
This school is very different than many high schools. I loved a lot of things about it and didn't love a lot of things about it. I think this school is great to get you ready for college. I feel very prepared for college because of the early college aspect. When a student finishes 16 high school credits they are allowed to Gateway. You then can take college classes at either OSU or CSCC. You have to be committed to school but if you are this is very helpful and a great resource.
One thing that I didn't love about Metro is the mastery system. This is when you have to receive an A to pass a class. This is a good thing because it makes you strive for a 4.00 your whole high school career. Although because of the mastery system, they have remediation. That is when you can retake class and or test/projects. This is great if you messed up a test or project once or twice a year but I think for most students it promoted procrastination because you know that you will be able to fix it.

Diversity is the best part of the school. There are some great teachers, but most are forced to leave by how poorly the administration treats them and replaced by teachers who might be verifiably sociopathic. The opportunity to take classes at OSU is great but you will be forced to take classes that are pointless towards your future career. The administration is stubborn and refuses to change their way of doing anything. I had some positive experiences, but if I could do it again I would save myself the detriment to my mental health and simply go to a public school.
