(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - NATHAN HALE IS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER. HAHA YOU THOUGHT!!! OUR SCHOOL IS POOR. THE LUCH LADIES ARE MEAN. FOOD SUCKS!. IN SPORTS WE ONLY PLAY TWO TEAMS.! THE TEACHERS ALWAYS GIVE UP AND JUST KICK KIDS OUT OF CLASS. THAT IS NOT GIVING US AN EDUCATION.! THE KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL ALSO ARE OUT OF CONTROLL .. THE ONLY REASON WHY I GO TO THIS SCHOOL IS BECAUSE ITS THE CLOSEST TO WHERE I LIVE.. THEN THE GOOD OF THIS SCHOOL. IT IS IN A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD. THE TEACHERS ARE WELL EDUACATED AND MOST WORK WELL WITH THE STUDENTS. THERE IS ALOT OF AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND EXTRA CURICULUM. I GET GOOD GRADES. AND IM IN HONORS. WE GO ON FIELD TRIPS. THE SCHOOL IS NICE AND WELL KEPT. BUT THATS LIKE BASKICALLY IT.! SOO YEAH WHATEVR CANT WAIT UNTIL HIGHSCHOOL!
