I attended Whitfield School from 7th grade until I graduated high school and I must say that as much as I love to hate it, I did get a damn good education while attending. The faculty was young and innovative in their teaching methods, which pushed me to think critically and be an individual regardless of peer disapproval.
The facilities were unlike any other high school I have seen, clean, up to date, and just top-notch all around! The administration was a bit troublesome at times because I felt that the school was more of a corporation rather than a educating establishment. While attending I had many mixed feelings regarding the entire school but now that I am in college I feel that I was blessed and lucky to have been able to attend such a fine school.
The people, however, were all the same. And when I say the same I mean the same upper-middle class kids who sport designer labels and conservative ideologies of their parents. Being the free-spirit I am, I found it extremely difficult to "fit in" one single group because of my liberal values. I felt that there was not enough diversity and many of the students tended to be extremely close minded because of that. All in all, the school is great (the parties were on par as well, Ha) and if you are able to take a tour of the buildings you will know exactly why I think so highly of the place. read more
