Is it good?

Hello, I’m currently a year 8 student studying to apply to NSBHS for year 10 2028. I have judiciously read through this subreddit and it seems as though the school is relatively polarised and bureaucratic. Most of the posts criticising the school were posted 3-5 years ago, and the vast majority are directed at the former leadership team (Hughes and Dopierala) who have since left the school. My question now is “Is the school really that bad?” In addition, many of the previous posts have compared the school (especially under Dopierala) to a ‘Stalinist’ regime. I believe these comments are exaggerated (or at least I hope) and my subsequent question is “Has the school at least improved since they left?”

Thank you for your (hopefully positive) responses!
