I went there since kindergarten all the way to eighth grade and I grew academically. The school had a low population which makes it great to learn. However, since it is a small learning community, I did not grow socially because I grew up with everyone. This made the transition to high school somewhat of a struggle.

Back then all the boys and girls were separated when it came to classes such as English, History, Math, etc. The only time boys and girls were co-ed was during electives such as band, orchestra, avid. I loved the way how the academic learning process because separating boys and girls in a class room helped me become a better student where I was able to focus on my studies and education without the distractions that I could be facing if boys were in my class.

However that's only about 40-50% of the student population. There certainly are amazing students who work hard and are very very nice.

I promoted from Lindsey a few years ago and I loved my time there and honestly, I miss it. This school unfortunately is underfunded and is not able to provide students the same resources, opportunities, and electives that other schools in the district are able to offer. This does affect the students. However, the teachers and faculty deeply care about the students and do their very best to teach the students and help them personally as well. I love every teacher that I have had there. You can talk to them about anything and they are willing to listen and help you if you need it. They are willing to take the time to help you understand what you are struggling with, and I still learned a lot despite the difficulties and flaws the school faces.
