Vineland Senior High School

There are minimal efforts within this school. This further causes the students to be unmotivated. The students are not encouraged to have good behavior or grades. The monitoring of student behavior is also flat-out bad. There is just absolutely no motivation or improvement within this school. Over half of the student population is low-income, which should signal MORE efforts and improvements towards the school, but only the opposite is observed. So I do not recommend this school at all. I would like to see some changes. And I am also familiar with one of the students in particular who hasn't been receiving the right approach towards his education, therefore making him very unmotivated and indifferent about his education. Personally, I realize how important education is, and though this rating may seem harsh, I hope to spread some awareness about the underlying flaws of this school, and how detrimental they are to these young students in the long run. There is also poor leadership. Real empathy and care between students and teachers have practically died at this school, which makes the atmosphere a relatively bitter place. The fundamental poor leadership at this school, as well as the lack of adaptable teaching methods, makes some students feel at fault. The students should never feel at fault for a careless school such as this one, and overall, I am worried about the future of VHS. I am constantly confused by the carelessness of this school, and with the student exam grades, I am unnerved that changes are not being consistently tried and/or made. I really hope that people will see the importance of supporting schools like these, especially for low-income families, because education is just so important. And sloppy schools such as VSHS make education and learning so hard for these students overall.
