(Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - This is a terrible school.
It is a predominately African American school, but there are still Whites there!!!!!!!!!!!! UNDERSTAND THAT. You can still have some diversity. The fact of me going there every morning makes me sick, and I dont want to go. I loved 6th and 7th grade better, but thats just because of the people in my classes. And 2 nice teachers. TWO. Doesn't that tell you something? I feel I am not learning to my potential, because as a nation we have just stooped downhill. But Wilder... just makes it worse. Awful school, and If I had the choice, Id much rather go to Brooklyn. Much more diversity there. I even have some black friends that hate it because there isn't any diversity. Terrible school. And keep in mind, I am not racist at all. I just dont like feeling alone. I just dont see how.....
