I go to this Faust Junior High School and I would recommend you not send your child to this school. Faust is possibly one of the most unsafe schools in the district. Everyday this is a large amount of racial slurs and profiling. There is also alot of gang related things that go on in the school. This year I think we have had about 10 people with drugs in their possession and there is almost always someone smoking in the school. We get threats about cliques beating eachother up it isn't harmless threats but violent and dangerous threats. This school isn't very controlled and the faculty and staff have not helped in anyway. We are all on our own at that school Close Quote
