What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 2, 2013

When we moved to McGuire we were told we had a choice of 2 high schools. I chose Pemberton because they were the school that had a JROTC program. After a few months I realized that what they didn’t tell us was they also have a gang problem. I tried to get my child moved to the other school when I learned she was being bullied by some of these gang members. I was told the 2 schools and the base had an agreement that once a child had started in one school they could not switch to the other. She should not have to be afraid to go to school every day. What kind of education is she really receiving? There are fights of a weekly basis. I would not recommend any other military families putting their children in this school. Close Quote
