I'm finally a Senior this year. I have spent my entire high school career here at Estrella. I have had no problems at this school. In fact, it's been an amazing experience. I've had the opportunity to work with some good teachers, and a great administration, play sports, and be involved in other extracurricular activities. In fact, my sister was so jealous of my experience she is looking forward to leaving Agua Fria and going to Estrella this year. Not everything is going to be perfect for anyone at any particular school, but it's the effort you make in deciding what kind of an experience you are going to have.

This school is awfully dirty! The restrooms looks like no one goes in there and cleans. The cafeteria looks like a class room. I think its a awfully bad school.
