I also attended this school about 12 years ago. Indeed there were teachers who expressed an interest in the education of certain students. Then again there were those (teachers) who slept during class. I am happy for those of you who actually succeded but let me tell you, statistically, it is a very select few. Only a handful of people get good jobs and only in areas like computer maintenance and kitchen labor. This school does not offer anything promising. I always thought of it as a daycare for the older, more troubled youth. I am embarrased to have attended this high school. Just read the other reviews to get an idea of the type of education one recieved, i.e spelling & grammar. Then go read Whitney Young reviews. I wish my parents had let me attend Young when I got accepted upon graduating elementary school. Their ignorance in the importance of education and safety taught me to encourage my child to achieve all she can. All I can do is support her and work hard to give her what I was denied. I am extremely content to say she is in a very prestigious magnet school because I knew she did not belong in these neighborhood schools. I don't care how much it costs, I will help her.
