The school has a very good staff. But i feel that some of the teachers here are hard for the students to work with. I feel that some teachers are making it hard for the students to work at school.
I believe that all the school activities are very good and that the students enjoy it.
I don't think that it should be a requirement for the 6th grade students to take choir. Some students don't want to sing, don't like to sing, or don't feel comfortable singing. I think that i will make it harder for students to learn if they are forced to do something that doesn't need to be a requirement.
I feel that the grades above 6th grade should not be allowed to come to the 6th grade hall. I've heard reports from students that they feel intimidated, have been bullied, and sometimes threatened. 6th graders are not yet ready to share space with older students. They have only gotten out of elementary school.
i don't think that the school is reinforcing enough of the topic, don't cuss, and don't smoke. I drive by the school all the time and i see students under the age of seventeen smoking in or outside of school. I also hear students under the age of thirteen cussing in almost every sentence! I also see kids ditching school.
It think that the school is good, rules have to be reinforced, and the opinions of the students need to be heard

I have been to this school as a student not to along ago and when I was in 6th grade I had to 7th and 8th graders came into the 6th grade hall and was I scared? No, they don't bully you or anything like that. And if kids are going to swear then they are going to swear and smoke. They don't give a care of who tells them to do what. And mostly people who smoke are in high school. So truth of the matter is kids are not going to listen if they don't want to. Trust me! If 6th graders are "Not ready" to be with older kids then they should be back into grade school. Giving them recess and there own special schedules is stupid. You are only babying them more. It's not right. They need to learn how to grow from grade school. I have been to the junior high and when I was in 6th grade I didn't get recess and I think it actually made me stronger! The 8th and 7th graders don't bully the 6th graders, they only think they are dumb..just like 10th, 11th, and 12th graders think 9th graders are dumb. SAME THING! It's not a big deal to put the 6th graders with the 7th and 8th graders...it's not a big deal!
