School Reviews

I think this school is great, the teachers are welcoming and always make it clear that you can open up to them. At least my teachers do. The methods of teaching are so different among teachers, some are kinesthetic and some are verbal. Not all students learn the same but I'm sure the teachers try their best to help every child. Mental health is discussed every week and I really appreciate it. My friends are the best and I wouldn't have gotten this close to them if I didn't go here. I will admit some students here don't respect the building and I've heard about people getting suspended for taking things and such. But it really isn't the school's fault. The opportunities for students here are endless as well. There are so many sports teams like basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc. There is cheerleading and many, many different clubs for so many different people. I am indifferent clubs 4 days a week morning and after school and I love it. There is a club for everyone and the staff works hard to make the school a relatable, welcoming place. I know I might be biased but I really love this school.

Most teachers didn't seem to like their job, and the ones who did would play favorites or just weren't very nice. It was also really hard to grow academically, teachers never pushed the students who exceeded in school to do better, you were sort of held back with everyone else.

This needs a better algorithm and should teach how to be creative and adapt to changes in the real world in order to be successful. Tests and stuff that has already been learned is not needed because we have things like google and siri not teachers stuff a robot already knows.
