I am a student at this school and I agree with some of these comments.. but there aren't rats and mice in the school. There is the occasional dead/alive roach or bug here and there. The food is kinda gross though. Sometimes they serve good stuff but that`s only sometimes. Most of the teachers are pretty nice. Judging by these comments, either the school has changed A LOT since then or maybe these comments weren't true in the first place. The bus ride to and from school is a different story... its really crazy. Yelling, screaming, music played to full volume, kids attacking other kids - what I meant by that is someone tried to choke another kid - bus driver that can be really loud... there are DEFINITELY some positive changes that could be added to bus rides. And someone got of the bus who wasn't supposed too and punched my friend! But the bus driver did NOTHING except lecture us about getting off on the right stop! Did absolutely nothing to help my friend... Also when I try to catch my bus in the morning the people said the bus would come at 6:22. Well, it comes at a range of 6:10 to 6:22. And even when I come at 6:10 I miss it by a minute... The way they let you choose classes is nice though. I liked was classes I got. The color system though. That is really dumb to me. In fifth grade, me and my classmates had a strike punishment. If you got in trouble, you got a strike and had to miss recess and have silent lunch. That wasn't babyish at all. It was actually a good way to discipline us. However the COLOR CODE system with green, blue, yellow and red was a bad idea- it makes most of us feel dumb and younger than we should feel! It makes me feel like a kindergartner! And sometimes kids get accused for something they didn't even do! Some teachers will only hear one side of the story. But the issue with the computers is downright awful! Currently we have a virus going around and my computer got infected for about two weeks and my grade dropped in a lot of classes due to me not being able to get work done. I tried to finish the ' late ' work but couldn't because one day wasn't enough! They have like forty computers and one computer specialist that works for two schools- hunters creek elementary and middle. However there is only two desktop computers in the back of the room and tons of students with no computers. I think that they should either
( A ) Not do so classwork on computer
This school is the worst! I mean this is not preschool but that's how the teachers see it. Also not to mention the bugs and rats so unsanitary, and the teachers attitudes are unnecessary. and don't get me started about the color system they use it's so childish, I mean you cant do anything without getting on yellow or red, I mean if you laugh BLUE, talk BLUE even if you breath at the wrong time BLUE!
They will not allow the students to use the lockers, they have to carry all thier books, folders, notebooks, computers, winter coats and lunch boxes, ect all day. However, they do allow the county to use the yard for soccer and baseball.
I like this school! The people here are sometimes bad but that's not the schools problem. The food they serve is kinda gross but they teach good stuff.
( B ) Get more computer tech to this school. And also what happened to recess or outside time where you get to let lose and run around for awhile? We don't even go outside anymore. Just for P.E. They don't give us any time at all to stretch our legs and get rid of pent up energy that might get us in trouble. They expect us not to be fidgety?! Also the lockers sit around doing nothing at all while we should be using them so we don't strain ourselves carrying all of the school stuff. My book bag is about 3 times the width of my body and about 10-12 pounds at least with everything we are required to take in it! My friend accidentally stepped on the back of my shoe and I almost tripped but the teacher saw it and said if he tripped me again she would put him on blue! Why though? Even I said it wasn't on purpose but did she believe me? Nope... We have to have a hallway pass for everywhere we go and since kids started ripping the hall passes we have to carry our planners around EVERYWHERE even to go to the bathroom or to grab a quick drink of water! All of the kids - even the good behaved kids that put up with this - get it taken away when its one kids fault! How is this fair to the rest of us who constantly get punished but we are actually the GOOD KIDS? Overall this school could have some changes but it is a somewhat decent school. I don't mean to hate on this school and sound like a mean person but the things that happen there could be dealt with a more better way. - Anonymous Student Who Does Not Wish To Give Her Name
This school is honestly one of the worst I've ever been to. Coming here for my first year in 8th grade, my experience so far is just disappointing. They treat the 8th graders like kindergartners with some color code discipline system. The teachers can't grade in time because they are so overwhelmed. I think that is because of the discipline system. They give kids so many warnings before actually doing something. The children are able to take advantage of that and disrupt the class. By the time the problem is solved, we have little or no work time. This is actually more disgusting to me than the bugs. I end up with so much more homework than i need to because kids are either sitting idle or being disruptive. Another problem is the computers. They expect us to do so much work on them when they are constantly breaking or are just downright slow. If you can't get your work done you're pretty much left in the dust. Not to mention there's only one person to fix all the computers in the school with no spares. This school is just proving to be the worst ever for me time and time again. I'm glad I only have to stay one year at it.
