I also attended this school about 12 years ago. Indeed there were teachers who expressed an interest in the education of certain students. Then again there were those (teachers) who slept during class. I am happy for those of you who actually succeded but let me tell you, statistically, it is a very select few. Only a handful of people get good jobs and only in areas like computer maintenance and kitchen labor. This school does not offer anything promising. I always thought of it as a daycare for the older, more troubled youth. I am embarrased to have attended this high school. Just read the other reviews to get an idea of the type of education one recieved, i.e spelling & grammar. Then go read Whitney Young reviews. I wish my parents had let me attend Young when I got accepted upon graduating elementary school. Their ignorance in the importance of education and safety taught me to encourage my child to achieve all she can. All I can do is support her and work hard to give her what I was denied. I am extremely content to say she is in a very prestigious magnet school because I knew she did not belong in these neighborhood schools. I don't care how much it costs, I will help her.

Hi, I know I shouldn't be writing this to my own school that I use to be in for years, I wanna talk my experience in there before I transfer to a different school, it happen in 7th or a lower grade, basically the students were rude and sometimes aggressive, I've been attacked by four girls who are my bullies for trying to have fun in one of the play area, calling me fat and a square due to my body, got called a crybaby for crying after getting attacked on my knees, legs, stomach, and on my genitals, but when I tell the staff about everything especially the lady I trust, somewhat just figured that they didn't stopped the bullying situation, in the main office, they gave me a box of tissues in case I cry more, and I waited for the man to get here to talk with the situation but he never came, I waited there till it's almost past 3:40 or anything, my mom has to pick me up and said that she'll get her lawyer if this happens again, in lunch the boys said they were going to pull my ponytail and rape me from behind over and over again, I don't feel safe in Hamline if the staff and principal do their jobs for taking responsibility for students who are getting harassed or assaulted. Mind you, I never did something to anyone in my class, they're poking and playing at me for being myself or minding my own business that didn't bother anyone, but when school was starting coming, I begged my mom to transfer me to the school near our house till I transfer on Thursday to feel safe again. And for any adults or anyone reading this, please take care and look after your children's from getting bullied or harassed, thank you.
