Do not bring your child to this school. They WILL get bullied. My child came home from school yesterday and told me a kid threw her belongings on the ground, she told the teacher and had the nerves to tell my child “ She is causing an distraction” After that, The same kid stole her work. My child went to tell the ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. The assistant principal said “What are we supposed do about it?” My child knows how to handle her own fights, but when she wants to safe report they do nothing about it.I also noticed that teachers show more respect to the boys than girls. If my child done the same thing the boys done, she would immediately get a phone call home. The boys gets no warnings nor phone calls. This school is horrible.

I am also a 2012 Anacostia graduate (shoutout to us!) and recently completed my bachelors of arts in economics (yes, I graduated in three years). I could not have done any of this without the support I got from my teachers (I love you Ms. Sowers) and staff (We had the best DC-CAP councelor). Yes the school gets a bit rowdy and learning can't always happen in that environment. The main problem is that students are not understanding the value of education. Once we return to instilling this value in our children.... we'll see the great things Anacostia SHS can do! Our ancestors literally DIED trying to learn to read because they knew how critical it was. Students have to work together to create and maintain a feasible learning community.

This school is amazing for all types of students, the teachers give all of support to students when they are confused with something, so overall I suggest you sent your child here so they will have the support they need.
