A B Shepard High School (Campus)

My experience with the school has been a positive one. I was impressed with what was available to the students and what my child was actually able to accomplish. There are many opportunities for kids to get involved with various activities, clubs and sports. I was also pleased with the parent communication as I was kept up-to-date on events via email and phone.

Not a big fan. The school itself, in my opinion, is poorly designed. The colors (brown and orange) are also very unappealing, and painted all over. Insufficient restrooms. The hallways are extremely crowded, and students just tend to stand there, instead of going to class or let other people through. THAT is not right. Additionally ( And I don't want to be "that guy"), the place smells weird.

I graduated from this school in 2007. I easily breezed by on sub par work. I managed to be in the top 10% of my class with minimal effort. Many teachers assigned "busy work" to avoid actualy having to teach, although many of the specifc teachers I am referring to have since retired. Even still, the support these teachers received from administration is a clear sign administration is more concerned about national rankings on tests than on actually educating. The school is not entirely without merit however. The music and speech programs are great. Some teachers actually inspire students to learn. These wonderful teachers go unrecognized due to the overwhelming amount of mediocrity overhwelming the school. Students attending Universities who come out of this school may struggle.
