Corinth-Holders High School

My son enjoyed his time at this high school, but received a below average education. I refuse to send my gifted daughter there because of the low quality of education and the refusal to improve. When I attempted to positively change the status quo I was met with excuses upon excuses.

Our children have thrived at this school. They have their issues, but not bad ones. A new principal this year will likely lead to great, new success!

The staff is absolutely PATHETIC. I am typically one who wholeheartedly respects and gets along with adults and I have only had one teacher who I did not get along with before high school, but this school really did it. I’ve always been a straight A student and a good kid and while this school didn’t change THAT, necessarily, it's definitely made me change my outlook on adults and school in a very negative way. The staff forces their authority so much (which, again, I have never had a problem with authority EVER until coming here) even to the disadvantage of their students. The majority of the staff DOES NOT care about your student or their wellbeing. Be cautious, parents. The teachers here care more about the clothes on your children/if they fit the dress code than their problems in school, at home, or anywhere else. I extremely agree with what some others have said here, including this one excerpt that could NOT be more true, “unnecessary disciplinary action against students than actual additional academic support. 100's of students regularly get after school detention due to a flawed system that is rigid and inflexible.” Overall, education is GREAT, teachers are good at teaching yet terrible at everything else, staff is uncaring and awful, and the students are ignorant and unaccepting. However, I wouldn’t stop your kids from going here. I’m sure they’ll find their place somewhere, as terrible as this school is.

This school is great! Instead of starting the day with ‘Ugghhh, I have to go to school again’, it’s ‘Finally, I get to go to school again’. I really like Smart Lunch as it gives you a chance to make up tests, do homework, go to club meetings, or just talk to your friends. I’m proud to be a pirate!
