Monday, September 8, 2014

i am at this school at the moment and i am telling you if you are going to apply to this school DONT! i read some reviews online about how this school was bad and also read some that said this school is the best school you should go to. all the things they wrote in the highschool books are a lie. there are no extra curricular activities in-between classes and gym is super super early . in gym the only choice you have to get your credits is to walk four laps around the basement where the gym is or play basketball so girls dont really have a choice in gym unless your a girl who likes to play basketball. the rules for the bathroom are ridiculous. there are about 7 or 8 stalls in the bathroom but only two can go at a time , so the bathroom lines are extremely long. they keep the bathrooms locked so kids cant use i without permission even at lunch they make you wait in line and when you finally get to use the bathroom they make sign the bathroom log . the school is small truman has assess to every part of the school and bhs only has half of the third floor the other half is for truman special ed kids. the teachers are very strict and they are very disrepectful especially the algebra teacher. i should have listned to the warnings about this school and im warning you if you are going to apply for the school DONT!!!!!!!!!!! if i could give this school zero stars i would but i cant because this site wont let me Close Quote
