Overall

If you don't plan on reading all this, read the last paragraph. That sums up my experience at this hellhole. Pretty much everyone I went here with in my grade is now an avid drinker. The only thing this school does well is giving you stories to tell in the future about how poorly managed it was. Absolute joke of a school, and the only thing I got out of it is a few friends. In all seriousness, there are essentially no facilities, instead resorting to shared facilities. Academics are decent, though could be better. One teacher actually prevented me from going to a more academic school because I wouldn't pay attention in her class. Most were okay however. Not sure what to write about sports, but here's a quick story. One sports day, the principal magically introduces a "sibling rule" where all siblings must be on the same team. Both her children attended at the time. Halfway through sports day, I see the V.P. ribboning up the trophy for the team with the principal's kids. We were nowhere near done. Let that sum up my experience.
