Let me start off by saying we absolutely loved this school when our kid first started going. Their teacher was AMAZING, kind, outgoing, everything you want in a teacher. Fast forward, their new teacher seems to always have an attitude (kid still loves them) but not a parents ideal teacher, teacher seems to favorite students, etc. Now here is where the real problems start. When I was walking into the building to get my child I witnessed a teach grabbed two students by the arm extremely hard and YANK them towards her all while she was yelling at them about not listening to her. That is NOT okay by any means. Not one person in the office bat an eye which was a red flag to me. Now I have questions, what is going on at this school that we don't know about? Next, there was an altercation between my child and another that was was not communicated properly over the phone. When I got there the story was very different. My kid had done NOTHING to this child and yet this kid HIT mine multiple times. When I asked about the consequences one of the front office ladies tried to downplay what happened. She tried to get this other kid out of any trouble just because of the size difference. NOTHING gives a child the right to hit another regardless of size, gender, etc. I just can't believe what these schools have come to. It's a shame we can't depend on these people to take good care of our children. Bemiss DO BETTER.

John R. Rogers High School has the largest racial/economic/disability diversity in Spokane County. With these specialties, John R has impressive AP testing and a high graduation rate. Our successes are due to our Hillyard Attitude for WE are John R and our uniqueness makes us kinder and stronger. If the outside world could see the crushing weight of challenges that affect the students here, everyone would be in awe of how marvelous this place truly is.

I loved this school as a kid and I hope my kid will to
