In all honesty, Byhalia isn't that bad of a school, the administration is just very disorganized and strict at some times. The students have no school spirit and hardworking, genuinely-want-to-see-you-succeed-in-life teachers are far and few. However, overall, it does have decent facilities, supplies, resources, and extracurricular activities available.

There are many things that they could work on but I do see things improving from last years experience. Like the administration has been more prepared and put in better initiatives like the yondr pouch and other things which seems to help things out. There uniform policy has gotten better when kids don't have the uniform on they don't send them home instead they send them to the office to change into a uniform shirt and send them back to class.

My overall experience here is overwhelming. At times it's a good school depending on the day. I enjoy it because the people there are very respectful and helpful with any need.
