(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated in 1978. No violence, very easy going student body. Fun. Good decent education. No gangs or problems. We had a smokers corner that I remember.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I was of the 1973 graduating class.
This was a fine learning enstitute, and from what I read continues to provide a well rounded education

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated class of 1982. Workman was not an outstanding school at the time. It was the little school that tried. Some what overwhelmed by the surrounding high schools. Any of them.
I cannot speak to the current stauts of the school, but it was a working class area at the time I attended. I had no fear of violence or gangs. I've gone on to become a productive member of society and a parent. I hope I have given back more than I have taken.

- as a former student there i was too exposed to continuous violence and constant unorganized activities on campus. that school has been going through changes and just needs the right leader to accomplish the visions that parents want fulfilled, however on the good side veteran teachers are the key to providing success to your student as well as the encouragement to keep your child on the right track.
