Everyone here is terrible. Focus on making everyone not be snakes instead of wanting us to be Einstein damn

I see lots of reviews saying they love this school, and lots of reviews saying they hate this school. All I can say is, you are in charge of your own happiness, academics, growth, etc. Don't blame the school for something that you are in control of.
The teachers here are pretty good overall. I highly recommend to take AP core classes, since that's where most of the good teachers are at. I've taken both AP and regular core classes, and the regular core classes are a joke. They don't challenge you, and the teachers aren't likely to help you all that much since most of them don't care. However, the AP classes really do challenge you, and most of the teachers are more than happy to help you with anything. Seriously, AP classes are the fun classes. I've never regretted taking a single one of mine (maybe except AP Lit). Don't be afraid of them just because they're at a college level.
Freshman year was rough for me just because the transition from middle school to high school was hard. Here's my advice to you: find something to look forward to everyday. If you love playing in band, then join Grandview's band. If you love soccer, join the soccer team. If you love arguing, join the debate team. Your happiness should not be at the expense of your education. Like I said before, you are in control of it. You can't control what your teachers do, but you can control your attitude about it. Finding something to look forward to everyday will help you have a positive outlook in school.
The students here at Grandview are fairly good too. Well, it depends on who you hang out with. If you hang out with good people, then their positive influence will reflect on you. If you hang out with all the pot heads, you're pretty much doomed to fail. Grandview is known as a sports school, but it has other achievements in music, art, business, mathematics, and other areas as well. Find your niche and enjoy your time here.
Tl;dr: You are in control of your life, happiness, and academics. Hang out with good people, follow your passion, and always smile. I wish you the best of luck at school.
