The kids at this school are quite racist and homophobic, however, that is changing. As for daily life, bullying is normal and homework is abundant. Most children (including me) here don't want to learn. Some teachers try to make learning engaging, but most just try to shove knowledge into our brains. This schools says it is in support of mental health, and it does sometimes do a good job, but the amount of homework it gives says otherwise.

Pretty good school, teachers though are either really conservitive and will go on rants about how being gay is a sin, or really nice. Kids are somewhat racist and most are extremily homophobic. (the county itself does not really care about minorities, specificly gay and trans people) Counsellers are nice enough, but always seem like they just don't want to be there. At the school they mostly focus on reading and math, nothing else. Also it is mostly rich vs poor, and poor kids are constently bullied and good luck making friend if you are not rich. 3/10 stars.
