Wednesday, February 13, 2019

I have gone to this school for four years and its only gotten worse each year. I have witnessed bullying almost every day and teachers and staff handle it very poorly like they don't even care. Most of my class of 2019 are afraid they won't graduate because we have had the disadvantage of teachers who don't care for their students and believe the best way to teach is to give out as much homework as possible and hope the students teach themselves. I have overheard teachers talking badly about students to other members of staff and sometimes to students they like more than others. This school has an incredible amount of bias towards students and will give breaks to the students that teachers like most. The "leadership" of this school if you could even call it that is very ineffective and think the best way to motivate and teach their students a lesson is to punish them rather than giving the students the help they might desire to stay on track. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone and wouldn't be surprised if it's shut down in the near future considering the school is in massive debt from a superintendent who is one of the most paid superintendents in the state but has bankrupt the school he was at before ours. I pray for my fellow student's futures. Close Quote
