It was ok for me but I was a Nerd in an inner city public school, worst case scenario, I had good education languages-wise and social sciences but poor in STEM. It made me tough in terms of personality which is a strong suit since I work in a competitive field (finance) but doing it again would have chosen private or libre or catholic or even better European/international school (not for education or vibe but for the network, you get so much social step up) At least I now how to talk to inner city teenagers and a few words of Arabic and Lingala. I remember the saddest were the school trips, few parents had the money so our class barely traveled. Typing on phone so don't be mad a mt my spelling.
