9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey never taught me on how to find a college for students who have autism or a disability. 3. They never taught me on how every college has different academics, Services, sports, clubs, and activities. The auditorium is way too small. You can’t fit everyone in there. Parking was just hell. There wasn’t enough spots for all students and as well they just let people who live close enough to walk drive to school and then people who don’t live close enough to walk won’t get a spot. There’s no baseball field on campus. More facilities on campus will decrease global warming as they don’t have to hire bus transportation and staying on campus burns less fossil fuels. Football season and all other fall sports start too early in the summer time and because of that sometimes people aren’t able to play since they’ll be away. No breakfast is sold at period 2 at all. Sometimes people don’t eat breakfast at all since high school starts at 7:30 pm. Don’t have enough food selections at lunchtime. Senior lounge has doesn’t have enough seats for people to sit next to friends and because of that a lot of the times I sat isolated on the benches in the senior lounge. It doesn’t feel like a new school year, it’s hard to separate others if they’re being too nonsense, not getting along with one another, causing too much trouble, and sometimes one homeroom can become more crowded than another if one student transfers to a different school or if one student transfers to FLHS because you’re locked in the same homeroom all four years of high school.Other Review3y ago
