Rickover Jr High School

This school is the worst thing that could ever happen to me!!!!!!

The students at this school lack total and complete respect for teachers, other students, administrators, and themselves. The administration does NOTHING to control the student discipline, and dis-empowers teachers to do their job. They give them all kinds of busy work (common core requirements, constant paperwork, etc.), but does nothing for them to support them when it comes to student discipline. Students regularly say to teachers , "F___ You", when they receive the most basic of requests. The administration's response, "what are you NOT doing in your class that is CAUSING this student to behave in such a manner?" In other words, it is all the teachers fault and with this strategy, if you can call it that, the administration can continue to go on thinking there is no problem. By far the worst problem is the administration's choice to keep students in this school that are clearly dangerous, unsafe and mentally unstable. This is a total disregard for the safety and security of students and staff. There have been past incidences of teachers and students getting injured because of this, and the administration just sweeps it under the rug. Do not have your child attend here!

our school is a piece of work mean it has diffrent values then you would this there it is not about grades but about you is cooler and has more control over the teachers as a student i have witnessed so much disrespect from both students and teacher as far as students go watch your mouths it is crazy what you say to the teacher and what u do in front of them teachers we really don't want to hear about your personal issues at school and if you don't want us to be getto stop teaching it to us do this and my be this place wont be such a prison

Not what it use to be...A far cry from it! It was a place to get a good education and structured discipline-now it is a shadow of both. With an administration that has the backbone of a willow tree. And their concern for students' afterschool activities is almost non-existent. I once came as soon as I could leave work and found the office closed(before 3:30). Since moved to Indiana and the school there are total different- starred schools with afterschool programs and administrator that stay to help supervise the building activites! All the new construction doesn't mean a thing unless there is a strong base to build on- Rickover no longer has that strong base. A pity for the teachers and children!
