Not going to lie, the other student who wrote a review seems a bit biased (I doubt they''ve had any experience with other schools), so I shall give a review based on my own experience in my almost full four years here. First of all, the students are eh. Some are amazing while some are words that I may not say in a review. It honestly really ranges, some are very nice to me while others claim I do non-child friendly art (I do not for your information, arigatogozaimas), and as someone who is not white (Korean), I can say nobody is truly racist or sexist, so that''s also a really great thing about the school. The teachers are also good, again I''d say it varies but everybody gets at least a 7/10 or higher. The teachers also do a good job encouraging hobbies (my 7th grade Science teacher notably) and try to make it fun (though not all succeed). The lunches are eh, not good but not bad. Bullying is very minimalistic despite obvious friendly teases that literally nobody I know takes to heart (besides when people were softer in 5th grade, but obviously aren''t anymore). I will say that there have been problems with the 7th and 8th grades, I won''t go into detail, but that''s the first time something like that has happened in my years here, and first for many teachers (if not all). They block stupidly unnecessary websites (because tectonic plate simulators are now banned?), but I guess to each their own, I won''t complain too much. They have a band which I was in for two years, very good teacher. The chorus teacher all does music. The specials are also great (music, tech ed, gym (twice), health, computers, art, and robotics), which are rotated every so often. This is getting really lengthy so I''ll shut u-
