I attend this school at the moment and while it is an okay school I cannot say that it is a great school. The faculty and staff at this school seem to care about nothing more than our uniforms and focus very little on our academics. Yes they do teach us and yes we do learn very well but when a teacher spends twenty to twenty-five minutes each class day lecturing a student about a uniform I feel that it has gone too far. That time could have been used to help a student that was unclear about a topic grasp it. The school is somewhat big and yet we only have three to four minutes to go to our lockers and get to classes. I don't know how fast you walk but I am generally very short, this tends to limit my walking speed. I feel this is too little time because I have to go to my locker get my books for second, third, and fourth block, due to the little time at lockers, and then go down the stairs, outside, and into another building. I consider this a safety hazard because I would like to see them go down the stairs with about fifty people going up and down while carrying books to their chins. I am not saying that Reid Ross is a bad school in fact we were selected as a school of excellence but they have a lot of schedule and priority problems that have to be sorted out through before we as the student body can truly call our school a school of excellence.

In my years of attending different schools, I have never been at a school so petty and so truly arrogant as Reid Ross. If you think this school is great, then you might as well enroll your child in a concentration camp. It's such a totalitarian setting, that only favors children that don't have the courage to speak for themselves. And those that don't conform, are persecuted relentlessly. One example, if one or two students does something wrong, then the whole school is wrong. I understand dress code is claimed to be the key to safety for the students, but taking it so far into persecuting somebody for the way they wear their necklaces, the way they wear their hair, and what color sock, armband, undershirt, or piece of jewelry is absurd. My suggestion to them is to look for the key things that matter like gang symbols, and not just stuff that looks suspicious. They constantly make careless decisions and don't think about the consequences to the students. Absolutely no compassion for the students. Before they get anymore students they should improve their standards first.

Sincerly,
.....who cares

I think that this is one of the best high school in Cumberland County. I am proud to say that I am a Reid Ross Classical Alumn.
