Some studies, like the one conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, have found that the race has had a negative impact on some students, saying it has promoted racism and bullying.
Valley students agree the race has been controversial.
"There's a lot going on, a lot of chaos," says 7th grader Natalie Burton.
"It's unfortunate because it detracts from what they're talking about," says 12th grader Joo-An Yoo.
Some of the topics debated and voted on Tuesday were limitations on television and learning about finances inside the classroom.
