The best experiences I have at school are sporting events, our school takes a lot of pride in its sports programs and organizations and its always a lot of fun to watch the sports and play them as well, I feel the negative aspects to our school are the factors that come to being clean and safe, our school has a big problem with students doing drugs on campus especially in the bathrooms, it makes the environment of the school negative and its really annoying to have to deal with these students when were trying to do something as simple as go to the bathroom, Our school is a lot of fun, the teachers, staff, and student body is amazing and I really enjoy coming to school , the only negative aspect is the bathroom situation and the small percentage of our student body which participates in this activities.

I recently moved to the Visalia Unified School District and it has been an absolutely amazing experience. The community is very diverse and welcoming. Everyone is so loving and kind, I haven't had a bad experience in this new environment these past 4 years and the teachers are always amazing and supportive.

For me personally I do really enjoy my school and i'm glad to be part of my schools community. Some of my best experiences with is school are the events such as our last big football game against our rivals called Cowhide it's such a personalized experience that everyone talks about even some from different schools. I haven't had any bad experiences that just stand out but for a change I'd like my school to maybe advertise all the options we have lined up for us because I barely found out about some courses and clubs we have last year.
