A. The best thing about City is knowing how good of a school it is and the worst is the weird expectations like how they want everyone, of every age, background, and home situation to be the same yet they encourage uniqueness. However, there is an abundance of fantastic teachers like Sra. Byrnes, Mr. Rizley, Ms. Williams, Mr. Brown, Mr. Jeroudi who care about us. That is a shoutout and it is only a small sample of all the great teachers here.
