The Shipyard

This is a school with ZERO discipline, the kids are allowed to run the asylum and often times bullying, foul language in classrooms, and poor behavior goes unpunished but not unnoticed.

Castigates and victim-blames peer abuse targets, causes peer abuse targets further ostracization and mistreatment by deciding that the problem is objects used as tools in physical attacks rather than the actual abusers.

I don't feel safe when I come here everyday. Their ID system to protect the school doesn't nothing, you get suspended if you don't bring this piece of plastic E-waste to their school every day. The entire school is dirty and filled with garbage, unclean toilets, and in every bathroom, only one sink works. The staff give the same punishment to kids who beat up other kids to kids who don't bring their ID cards to school. The security are useless as all they do is stand around the school looking at their phones. They put security in the bathrooms doorways in the morning and kids still get away with doing drugs in the bathroom, the school district is very poor so we don't get the same opportunities as other schools either.

After spending 7 years at a parochial school where the tuition was growing but, the education was shrinking I decided to enroll my child at Roanoke. I could not be happier. My child has never been challenged more or supported more. The teaching staff is marvelous. The ELA curriculum is outstanding, inventive and, engaging. My child is thriving and, can't wait to go back next September.
