During my 3 years at Purchase Line Junior/Senior High School, I would rate my overall experience as average. Coming into the high school as a Sophomore, it was harder to make friends because it is a small town school where everyone knew everyone. Considering I was the new kid, it was difficult coming into that environment and making friends. I was active in clubs and sports during my 3 years and that helped me with making friends. To overall explain this school, I would say that is not very accepting and to mainly revolves around what your last name is and how you were brought up; and that's just the honest truth. The academics are more poor than average, and there is not much diversity. I am not saying that this school isn't a good school, but I will say that there are many ways they could improve to make it a more safe and better environment for all of their students. Overall, if you like small town schools, and like the idea of small classes, this is the school for you.
Purchase line has overall been a good experience. Most of the teachers are nice and care about your learning but also about your well being. Some things that could be changed are the ants where we eat, and the other bugs found in the school along with the water system but overall purchase line is a good school
Growing and learning while going to school was stressful for me at times. I often didn't like school. I didn't want to be around people so early and I didn't want to do work so early. During my senior year though I came to appreciate my teachers and my time at school. The teachers are what made the school better. Some hold such good advice and have so much wisdom. Some are just very personable and easy to talk to about your problems. Some are just good teachers, they know how to help and get you to understand their concepts.
