Honestly terrible, no one at this school cares about the well being of the students at all.
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!! This high school will never change. I don't care how many times they change the staff members. The school is in a bad area as well. I would NOT recommend this school to anyone who actually wants a decent education and can walk outside of class without seeing a fight. Terrible school for violence. This review will not change anything but hopefully it will save someone from attending or letting their children attend.
I am absolutely appalled at this school. My family and I moved here a year and a half ago from up north. My child had wonderful grades. It took over 4 weeks for the school to review her records and place her in appropriate classes. So, she gets her schedule and not one administrative person offers to show her where her classes are. Never mind the fact that most of the classes she had already taken previously. The teachers were rude and had no problems swearing and putting on movies instead of teaching. Now we are in her second year at this school. Teachers have blatantly refused to help her out with any of the work she doesn't understand. She has complained that many of them say to the students if you don't want to listen then I won't teach you. When she speaks up about this, she gets sent to the office! I have had many conversations with the "drop out prevention specialist" who has demeaned my child numerous times and threatened to have her sent to an alternative school. Then when I demanded a meeting with her and administration I was met with just on of her teachers instead. This school is an absolute joke. The are disorganized and refuse to make any changes with their staff. Oh, and forget parent teacher night. This is a joke as well. I have gone to every single one offered over the last year and a half. I have met only 3 of her teachers in two years. The others were not even there! I am now considering home schooling my daughter for her last year. These should be the best years of my daughters life!
I am a sophomore and were about to move. All I have to say is HALLELUJAH! Do not bring your child here! For starters, the guidance counselors are terrible. High schoolers HAVE drama and they have the nerve to say they don't help kids with drama, so they're pretty much useless. Do you care about your child? Well when there is drama at this school, it causes fights. When people get into fights here, they get sent to jail. So who's supposed to help the children with the drama if the guidance counselors say they dont deal with it. Then the assistant principals, I don't see how they think they are over the actual principal, who is actually one of the only decent administrators at the school. For sports, okay so some of them care about grades, but then there are some who don't seem to look at the rule saying you can't have anyone under a 2.5 GPA on the team because I have seen some people on teams with under 2.0's play. Then the saddest of all, the academics. I have never seen such lazy teachers in my whole life, instead of teaching, they'll show you a video, hand you a worksheet and class is over so you can just use your electronics for the next 45 minutes. Also, I don't see why its necessary to have only 4 classes each semester for 90 minutes, if you talk to a professional, the teenage mind cannot pay attention to one thing for 90 straight minutes. I have a whole lot of reasons this school is not good for other reasons too. Let's say we're at lunch, the fast food restaurants are across the street so for those with cars, they can just easily leave off campus. The assistant principals are in charge of not letting them leave but they obviously dont care. Lets talk about dress code, i understand the rules but it should apply to EVERYONE! If somebody with a kind of short skirt gets sent to ISS, a girl with an even shorter skirt should be sent as well. Its called being fair. Now, here's where things get gross, I have never EVER been in a school that's infested with roaches and mice. There are enough janitors, why is the school so dirty. I've seen wasp nests. When I go to practice, people get stung all the time due to all the wasps. I just really do not recommend this school for anyone who can breath air. You can try to go to Jack Britt High or even home school or online school, just don't come here. You will regret it.
