Lisgar Collegiate Institute

First of all, hard grading system and rigorous academic expectations do not mean it is a bad school. It's where you can expect yourself to be suitably geared up for university. Having spent the last 2 years of high school there, gotta say it's a great place - no bullying, and a serious mindset to both academic and all-round personal development. There's a lot you can extract here even under such a lackluster and painfully unchallenging provincial curriculum. The teachers I've had are always more than happy to build up their students. Expect most of your classmates are not from the school's catchment area but from the inner and outlying suburbs.

pretty good school - although hard grading system

Great

Best high-school I've been to, although to be fair I've only been to 4 for an extended period of time so my judgement might be misguided.

It probably has the same problems as all the other high-schools such as stress but that's probably because I'm procrastinating on exams right now. Usually it's relatively chill.
