I like the food there! It is really good, and the lunch ladies work really hard. And the school tries its best not to discriminate. LGBT+ and transgenders are really accepted at that school, which is really surprising since we live in the south!
Personally, I had a horrible high school experience. I was made fun of through my 3 years of high school, and lost so many friends without knowing why. My high school only cares about one thing, and that is the sports teams, (football, basketball, etc.) If a football player did anything against the rules ever, it was okay, as long as they were making the touchdowns every friday night, that’s all that mattered. This is why I like to get out of my hometown, and have a fresh start for me, and my future. But on a positive note, there were a couple of cool teachers, and a couple of cool students. But I 10/10 would never repeat high school again. I am hoping to move forward in life in a new, positive mindset, and actually be happy with myself, and not have to worry about what others think or say about me.
The high school in Van Buren is decent, but only average at best. Some teachers care, some dont, and truthfully the education is lacking compared to other schools in our state. Although, it seems like they are trying to improve that. Rule enforcement is fair but the environment in the school made by the students says otherwise. Attention to *all* students opinions is rare and is otherwise dictated by the authority in the school usually. They are trying to improve on that too though. Overall, if you're self-reliant you'll do fine.
