School Reviews
1 7/2/2020
I spent three months at 360 High School as a practicum student when I was in undergrad. The staff could not have been more rude and unwelcoming to me or the other practicum students from my college.The feedback we received as beginning educators was ignorant, unhelpful, and completely unprofessional. I've had my own classroom for a few years and I can attribute my strengths as a teacher to my 4 other practicums and 2 student teaching placements. But not here. I hope no one in any new teacher program is ever placed here, or has to experience what we did.
