I have done all in my power to block out my high school years...
I went to a K-12 private Baptist School for all the years of my schooling life...
Whatever the lowest number is what I choose.

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I highly enjoyed the majority of my high school experience, really. Many teachers were proficient in what they taught and usually fair, and they came down hard on activities deficient to learning (fighting in the hallways! gangs!)
5/10
Not too bad of a school, teachers are nice, and the kids aren't so bad...
But right now, I'm pissed at them for not giving me my schedule because I didn't pay 63 dollars for a friggin book. Lawl North Lawl.
I will later. -_-
Looking back, my high school itself was excellent. It helps that it's in a good area. Most of the teachers were good at what they taught and genuinely cared about the students, and wanted them to succeed. There was a good variety of AP and honors classes, clubs, and sports, and fine arts played a huge part in the school (1 year of fine arts is required to graduate, and I think 1/3 of the students at any given time were in a f.a. class). Violence was virtually a non-issue - I think there were 2 fights while I was there, and they were very brief. The only real downside, I think, was that there weren't any real counselors if students were having personal problems (though there were 3 for figuring out college/class stuff and I guess they could've covered personal issues too).

Have a nice day!!
7/10 - Teachers were good but they wanted too much of us!
Assuming higher number is better, 8/10, generally good programs, some great teachers, the arts got a reasonable amount of focus (although sports, as is customary, dominated most of the social spectrums).
Less focus on social groups and more on class identity, which was different and occasionally irritating but could have been much worse. Seniors generally feel superior to Juniors who feel superior to Sophomores who feel superior to Freshmen who get the shaft in everything, but I believe my school had a bit more focus on that since the group mentality was nigh nonexistent.
It's a private Catholic school, but it was fairly laid back. There were masses and prayers and such of course, but the policy was to not shove religion down a person's throat. Most religion classes were somewhat eclectic, having elements of history, psychology, and current events. Definitive Catholic spin, of course, but learning about other religions (in a positive light, even) is never a bad thing.
Not a perfect school, no school is, but I found it fairly enjoyable overall. Although with the new principal, I do have worries as to where the school may be headed as he's an uber-Catholic, as it were.
It had its problems, but I got a good education and met lots of great people there. I'll give it 8/10.
As for the school itself, I'd probably give it about 7/10 whereas the actual experience earns it a 10. Mostly because of the unholy amount of in-jokes, messing around and laughing we enjoyed. Teaching was generally good, but they often fluctuated between great and awful (such as comparing my English teacher years 10 & 11 to my ICT teachers years 10 & 11). The facilities weren't terribly good but you wouldn't expect them to be. We had a leisure centre right next door so we were able to use the facilities of that for PE lessons. The school got somewhat updated as I was leaving with more computer boards being put in (I can't imagine how well that went, given how my Physics teacher was given one and blatantly couldn't use it which lead to even more messing around in Physics), the main entrance is really purple and looks the entrance of a cinema and the cafeteria is now really beige with IKEA-type chairs and tables. Didn't like the change of uniform in year 11 though, waste of money and the design sucked compared to the old one.
As for my FE college which I suppose it more similar to the US style of 'High School' that was a lot better than school. Food was a lot nicer, the teachers were a hell of a lot more competent, there were less idiots around the halls and the standard of teaching was much better.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
i say 7/10 for my old high school.
pros
decent amount of school spirit. i wasnt included in that.
more then half the teachers were nice.
most of the students ahd decent personalitys. everyone seems to break up into there own little clicks. but there were always peopel who fit in them all. i fit in a decent amount of them myself.
jocks werent worshipped either which was nice.
cons.
a lot of drugs float around the school.
theres that one group that think they own the school.
2 teachers i considered evil and i got them both the one year.

Alot of the old naggy teachers have left now, making it better. When I first started we had a horrid head teacher and just general nasty teachers now they've all left THANK HEAVENS ;_; Ive been here for 4 years, and next year will be my last. In lower school teachers give you no respect, and are way strict. When you enter senior years teachers lay off you, and you find you can actually have a laugh with them. The school is bloody huge, and we have 6 huge buildings on site. Its quite intimidating at first, and you always get lost in your first week. It now looks like a prison, as there is security cameras everywhere and huge big gates you can't get out of until home time. Its a technology college, so we arnt short of gadgets. It does amazing art and drama productions too. I like my school, and I'll miss it when I come to leave next year D:
8/10.
I still have one more year of middle school, but the high school I'm going to is virtually the same, only girls there are HOT.
9/10
When I finally get into high school and realize what a smurfing blast of hell it is, it'll probably be something like 6/10
7/10
My school sucks because of the snooty girls and asshole jerk guys. Some of the food is also sickening, not to mention teachers that make you want to puke.
Good thing high school is in a month! My sister says it is so much better than middle school. *is exited*
The school itself was horrid, we had an awesome highschool, then they deiced they needed to build a new one. It's completeand is now falling apart at ten years old, the one million dollar gym has flooded three times. teachers were ok, some horrid but that's in every shcool. And lots and lots of drugs/violence evryday. I think we had two or three month long streak of a fight everyday in my junior year.
8/10. I liked my school for the most part.
It had a few problems. they let the sports track get overgrown so skive lessons day (aka sports day) was cancelled three years in a row. Oh, and the maths teachers were terrible. One teacher also owned a used cars business and generally only spent half of the lesson in his room. And he only marked books (wrongly as it turned out) before parents evenings or inspections.
However, Mr Parling made the school awesome. He was a real tough guy, but you felt great when he thought well of you. He was pretty much responsible for me pursuing Science and I'd like to be as good a teacher as him (only without the huge sideburns and the one cheap suit that he never changed).
