Thursday, October 19, 2023

I am not sure where to start with the problems at Myers Park. There were fights constantly. teachers would have to interrupt class to deal with disrespectful students, fights, and other distractions. I was also sexually harassed daily while attending Myers Park and not once was it taken care of by the administration. I was also raped by a football player in a building on Myers Parks campus and was threatened with suspension and my rapist received no consequences. This school is not the place you want to send your child if you have any other options. If you care for the safety of your children I hope you can figure out another school for them to attend. Myers Park does not comply with Title IX or safety audits (they lie on them by warning staff so they can prepare). Close Quote

Good:
Challenging environment. Hard work for students.
Good dedicated team of teachers.
My student has learned a lot, in every respect better prepared than my
coworker's kids in exclusive private school.
Better college opportunities than private school yields.

Bad:
Counselors are inattentive; have too many students.
Don't know they exist until seniors. No guidance. Close Quote
