This school has it's flaws like all other schools, but there is potential for a great school and many strong people and leaders I feel have came out of this school. As I finish up my senior year and reflect on the previous 3, there has been ups and downs, left and rights, but this school's teachers and staff are passionate about teaching sustainable living and want to inspire greatness in all of their students. The community service this school has done for Ithaca speaks loudly to the empathetic teachings in the classroom.

In freshman year, it was my best. Sophmore year, they decided to give us an expedition class that lasted about 2 hours. It was kind of wierd, and I would say it was a waste of my time every Tuesday. They also tried to convince me that they have control over me before 9, when school starts. I was going somewhere at around 8:30, well before class starts, and I got yelled at for going off campus? I did a lot for the school, and did fundraising. I did not feel appreciated toward my end, especially when I raised about 500 dollars with penny wars. I finally left. Very upset to hear about the music teacher getting the boot. I was part of the rock band, and even almost joined steel drum band. I gave one star, for great teachers and academics. Another star for the great music department with the music teacher.
