I as a former student of JE have to say that i agree with both sides of the argument. Some teachers come to school in my eyes just to collect pay, others are the best you will ever come across.

As a graduate of John Ehret, I have to say that its not the safest place to be. Coming from a private school system all my life I was very uncomfortable being in a rundown, poorly organized, oversized school. There are too many students and not enough discipline. Without different types of security

The public school system itself should really open their eyes and relize what is really going on in the school systems today. I have been in a classroom where there were drugs, students on drugs, and even objects that should not be there. Read less

Every school's success or failure can be determined by the person leading the school. From my conversations with the principal, I feel that this school has the captain of the titanic at helm. The only people that will feel this is the graduating kids from the school. For the most part, the principal

I think that the scores of other schools and this school should be made known public.

I as an employee would not recommend anyone to send their child to this school. I do agree with one of the parents. Some of the teachers do not know the curiculum. As for as the staff, they cant even get the lunch menus together. The children have to eat the same thing every day. Hamburgers and pizza.

Now that my oldest son has graduated from JH, I will probably send my younger one to a Private School. I will admit that they have several electives to choose from.

My Niece was a student of this school in the 9th grade and was being given ditto sheets to do everyday in her classes. When I asked the teachers and staff about this I was told that the teachers are just learning the information and cannot help the students because they dont know how to do the work themselves.

I was givin report cards with failing grades because all the REAL teachers are over honor classes and normal students are getting the teachers that cant explain the work so they just sit there and cant learn. I have since removed my niece from this school and she is doing excellent in her new surroundings with teachers who care about the students and not the paycheck. Read less
