School Reviews
2 11/16/2007
While I do think this school does a great job of supporting students who wish to participate in athletics or the arts, I feel they fall short academically. Very few teachers will go above and beyond for their students, and to be honest, most of them do not do more than they are required to do in order to recieve a paycheck. Their are exceptions to this, but there are far too many students in this HIGH SCHOOL who are unable to read or to complete basic functions of highschool, and the resources to help there are here, they are just being passed by as this school works to graduate students who should still be in 10th grade. Overall a lack of pride in the student body, and lack of professionalism by staff leaves this school in dire need of new administration.

As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
