Transferring to this district from Southwest High School has been a frustrating experience. From my very first day, I noticed how disorganized things were. During passing periods, the hallways are so crowded that I’ve been elbowed and bumped into multiple times, which makes moving between classes stressful and uncomfortable.Another issue is that the school seems to prioritize minor rules over more serious concerns. For example, I received two days of lunch detention simply for forgetting my ID at home and having to use a temporary sticker. Situations like this make it feel like the administration focuses more on enforcing small policies than addressing bigger problems that affect students daily.The school environment itself is also overwhelming. The building is old and poorly maintained, with flickering lights, holes in the walls, and an overall appearance that feels neglected. This creates an uncomfortable atmosphere that makes it harder to focus and feel positive about being there.Additionally, interactions with administrators have been discouraging. They often come across as rude, frequently blowing whistles without clear reason. Even when walking outside, conditions can be unpleasant, as dirt gets blown into your face, adding to the overall frustration of the school environment.Overall, my experience in this district has been disappointing due to the lack of organization, poor conditions, and what feels like misplaced priorities.

In my experience, this school has been amazingly great to me whatsoever. The teachers are very kind, and mainly help you with any questions you have. The teachers only punish bad students when they really deserve it and give them many chances to change! A classmate in my college and career class has actually stopped being a trouble maker after many calls to home from their teacher, which they started to get more work done. The students at this school haven't given me much trouble and are pretty cool I'd say for 8th graders, plus there have only been about 2 fights throughout January to March. This school has been a blast for me personally, and my grades have drastically improved compared to my other schools from the 70's to high 90's. I would love to stay here another year if I was only in 7th grade.. Overall, a fantastic school. :)
