The best school I have gone to

Aside from a few very caring teachers, the staff is unapproachable. I had a problem with one of the students in my class, so I went to the guidance office to switch classes on the first day of school. As I was explaining my situation with tears in my eyes, the woman at the desk then coldly told me that I have to talk to the principal about it and she would not schedule an appointment with the guidance counselor. I was so upset that I ended up just leaving school and going home. The next day, I asked principal Laue to change classes and he seemed irritated and then told me I could only take a study hall then and wrote in all caps across my whole sheet of paper, “STUDY HALL ONLY.” As I was walking out of his office, I let out a sigh as I have anxiety and I was trying to calm myself down. He shouts after me, “Did you just sigh at me?! I just did you a huge favor!” I’ve been a great student. Always had over a 3.5 GPA and took honors and AP classes and this is how I was treated. Many of the teachers only care about the star athletes and not the students who genuinely care about their education. Bullying is just brushed aside as no one wants to deal with it. As far as the curriculum, it’s standard compared to neighboring schools. Their offering of advanced placement and honors classes is a plus.

Safe environment, clean school, awesome principal, and staff have great teamwork! Staff is always welcoming their students by first name with a smile!
