They lock bathrooms I called the main Akron office, they did their part. And Garfield called me saying they wouldn’t do that. But it is still locked and one of the teachers said to my daughter I heard your mom called complaining. Well it won’t happen. (You know who you are sr.) horrible school.

Teachers are not supported by the district. Classes are at maximum 28/29 in a class. It’s more like a day care than an actual learning institution. Half the time my daughter was on a computer doing Iready math and reading or working on some work sheet her teacher handed out. No actual teaching is being done. They refuse to take action when kids are being bullied or beat up. They don’t want to lose any child in the district because that would mean less money for the schools. So they either don’t take any action or put the child in a different Akron public school. All they do is pass around problem children from one APS to another APS. Racism is very prevalent. Kids make fun of other children biased on color and disabilities here all the time. Especially on the playground where teachers just stand and talk to each other instead of watching the kids closely. They will pass your child through the grades just to show on reports kids are passing. Meanwhile kids can’t even read and write and are behind grade levels. Unfortunately your child will only be a number, a dollar sign for a failing district that is desperate for money. And will sacrifice your child’s education and safely for there greed. Do yourself a favor and look into the education choice scholarships, nearby districts for open enrollment and charter schools. Your child deserves it.

As somebody who attends this school, this is by far one of the worst schools ive been to, there is to many fights way to much bullying and the teachers and principal just don't care, I have always enjoyed going to school, but not this one though, I recommend that you don't send your kid here, believe me you will regret it, at my first year in this school I was already being picked on and it was always so hard to concentrate on my work and it really effected my grades, ao far since i've been there 10 kids left and im about to be one of them I cannot stand it anymore, kids were going around stabbing other kids with pencils and making tiktoks about it, every single morning we have to walk through a metal detector to make sure nobody is carrying weapons, it's just crazy....Please I beg you, DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!!!
