Good things about high school are:-
more freedom, different teacher in every class, you can get out at lunch.
Bad things about high school:-
you need to walk to your classes, more homework.


The work in high school gets harder as you as you progress through the school year.

Before exams you can get a bit nervous but its not that bad.

There is not a best subject but P.E is the best in my opinion.

In most classes your class mates are nice.

High school it not much different from primary school except you get different teachers for different subjects.
