Aside from the horrible school food and mediocre cleanliness of the building, my 4 years attending this school were great. Due to the small size of the "school", teachers are very connected with students and will always ask you if you need help with your work or even just talk to you. The same could be said about the other staff roaming the halls. As someone with an average GPA, classes were not very hard and if your relationship with your teachers are on good terms, they may be open to giving you extra time to submit late assignments. The main problem that I have with this school are the students. If your in the hallway going to class, you will notice right away how many people just crowd the halls and bathroom stalls. Most of my classmates and upperclassmen are not like this but many of the freshman lets just say are not people you want to be around. (IMPORTANT) No phones allowed apon entry for ALL students. You get it back from your hoomroom/advisory teacher at the end of the day.
The teachers are pretty good, they always push students to try harder and encourage them to come after school for extra help, especially Mr. Harrison and Ms. Moriarty. The academics here are a bit easy, not many AP classes are offered but the school has a pretty good learning environment. The clubs and culture here are not recommended, they're either given last minute—which is annoying–or are irrelevant. Students move very slowly in the hallways, it's like a turtle race. The students can be pretty weird at times but are still very sociable. Finally, the food here is ABYSMAL, but it's mostly because they offer school lunch.
I am an alumni who is currently working at the high school that I graduated from. The Urban Assembly for Media Studies molded me into the self motivated and continuously evolving individual that I am. I learned that it is my responsibility to step into an atmosphere and try to make a positive contribution even just by being present. The importance of networking and holding myself accountable is also something that I learned. Even when I would get in trouble, the adults would reprimand me but not change their view of me. I was human, I am human and humans go through transitions... especially in high school. The administration and teachers pushed me to want more for myself and believed in me times when I did not.
