this school is not completely terrible, however, i didn't really enjoy my first year here. it follows with the modern school system (standardized tests, grades being more important than mental health, shoving college down your throat) that most high schools have, and i think many can agree that it, well, sucks. especially for me as an introverted person who is slow-paced when it comes to working. i feel that i didn't learn anything important other than the fact that teenagers are the worst. this school claims that it welcomes everyone but i still feel very out of place. the staff is always rude and unhelpful, and i have had a not so pleasant experience with the principal. a major complaint i have is about my experience with drama club. i joined thinking it would help me fit in better and i was looking forward to it, but upon joining, i learned that it was very unstructured, there were no firm agreements about things, it was kind of like the president and the teacher in charge just said "eh, just leave it to the kids". i did not feel welcome at all. everyone in it was already tight knit because they were in drama class, so most of them knew each other and were completely unwelcoming. the worst part is when i auditioned for their little play and got the part as the understudy because my auditioned pretty much sucked and the main cast already knew each other. i felt very alone. they did not need me at all, they just kept me hanging around like a puppet, the least they could do for me since i was the worst audition. probably the only other audition. they were not helpful and i felt almost discriminated against. i thought they were going to guide me as a newcomer with no acting experience (which they clearly said was fine) and i didn't even know what to do as the understudy. it's not like any of them were going to miss the show and let me ruin it. so i just stopped attending practice, did not show up to the recitals, and stopped attending the club when i saw that i wasn't needed.
overall this school is cheesy and just average. nothing special.
