The school has taught me things that I already knew, and some of the teachers don't teach very well. Some of the teachers teach as if we were little kids.This school has taught me nothing, and students fight too. Many of the kids have low test scores, and that probably means that the teacher doesn't teach well. My experience at this school was not the best.
