Review of XVI gymnasium, Zagreb

Mostly has good teachers who prepare you for matura (varies from teacher to teacher), the people and trips are memorable - and there are lots of both, there is a cantine inside and bakeries just across the street. Most students like to complain about everything but it's overall a good school to go to, as well as demanding. The classes are determined by which language you choose and whether you are in the bilingual class (that one is paid yearly). We also now have ednevnik (tablets as gradebooks).

Allow me to complain as well:

One od the big issues is lack of space - the Classical Gymnasium has more pupils and they fill up space needed for the XVI Gymnasium. Naturally they can't fit both in at the same time, but doing shifts also causes problems because teachers take up each other's classrooms and class has to be held on the hallway or moved to be before/after shifts (7am or 8pm).
Up until now because renovations are in progress, we had falling windows, cracked floors, walls and ceilings.
There are no curtains in most classrooms so the sunlight makes it hard to see the board and can make it hot inside. (Especially for those writing matura) -> they're working on fixing this problem
A reason for classroom-stealing amongst teachers is that only some of them have working projectors.
