    I love it there! It is a very exciting school, with lots to learn. The teachers are involved and great with the students. Although the school is amazing, the diversity isn't very great, and the school is trying to change that. The sports programs have a lot to offer. There is a array of teams to pick from, but we don't win every game. This year the school incorporated a security dog into the school.

    St. John's faculty are super engaged, hands on, and truly passionate about what they are teaching. They seem to genuinely care about every student. They are available to simply talk to whether you need help to understand a concept or are having a bad day. Similarly, the students are almost all just as engaged and interested in what they are learning. I do have some comments/complaints. The school and the students at the school have A LOT of money that is used for the most boujee things imaginable. 10 thousand dollars on cookie cake? Yes. Getting too lazy to water the grass so they spray paint the lawn green? Of course! Building a new baseball field, realizing it faces the wrong way, and then rebuilding it again to make it face the other way? Yep. The school is constantly under construction building many often unnecessary buildings and fields.
    St. John's has it's reputation of being very academically rigorous, but the community comes together to work through it. Coming in as a new student my freshman year, I definitely had an adjustment to make academically but I learned to go to my teachers for help which was beneficial to my grade in the short term and to my connections with the community in the long run. Hands down the teachers are the school's strongest aspect because they are passionate about their subjects. The school has it's flaws but the administration is constantly working to improve student life. Every person I know who does not like the school is not working to get involved in the community. There are hundreds of clubs and communities around campus and a place for anyone to get involved. This school is filled with brilliant people and at times that can be intimidating but it only pushes me as an individual to better who I am because to be the best, you need to learn from the best.
