I love the people in this school, and the school supports my learning style, but with the new schedule change I won't have art classes or be able to avoid study hall, which is bad for me. Art helps me with my ADHD and study hall sto too quiet for me to deal with, and I don't work well around people in that setting, which is why I've signed up for several activities to avoid Student Improvement time, in vain. When I talked to the principal about being able to do something different with SI, anything, even helping with the office or the librarian, who's hard of sight, he shrugged and told me I'd have to deal with it. I asked if I could at least wear my headphones for background noise, but he again turned me down. Several other students have made requests like this, and all were turned down. I don't like this school much.

When we look at it from an academic perspective, this is apretty great school. However, it tends to lack in all other aspects. Bullying is common in this school and staff does nothing to prevent or stop it. Focus is solely dedicated to academics with no regard for the student. Drama among the students is always present. Lots of kids get in trouble and disciplinary measures are either extreme or minimal. There is no middle ground. Teachers often pick favorites and don't enforce rules unless they dislike the student. There is a lot of horrible things at this school. Most parents only look for test scores. You shouldn't. This school is not a fun place for your children.
