The students who attend here are absolutely terrible. There was even a fight breakout last year of the Bloods vs. Crips. To be honest, I don't even think either of them were really in those gangs besides pretending that they were to seem "cool".

They do drugs. Duh. You can skip class, and most of the time they wouldn't really suspend you. You get in a fight? Suspended. How many fights are there? A lot.

The teachers are not that interactive with your children. Do you think you're smart? Well, you'll just be dummy at Morrow. If you understand the work, it'll be a breeze. Morrow has THE reputation of being an easy-to-pass school.

I honestly don't know what the previous reviews are talking about how this is a so-called great school, because it has the reputation of being the worse. It's trying to get it's act together, sure.

All of the students know it won't last, though. Uniforms are a joke. So is life in Morrow.

This school is great, yes it has some things to work on but its wonderful. WE know how to have fun, and learn at the same time. If someone tried to talk about my school I would stand up for it.
