They have a few gems in the school. Overall the school has several rotten apples. Those people are just there to collect a check that includes the principle BeNita Parker who is extremely unprofessional.Poor communication/disrespectful and uncaring. Has a nonchalant approach to bullying.

Former student here, will not disclose details such as my name for safety. I was constantly harrassed in this school for the year I was there, was a mixed student who only went because I was in a hard living situation.The students were absolutely terrible. I have ADHD, and looked different from everyone there which means I was an absolutely huge target for harrassment. The students in the school comstantly got me in trouble, harmed me mentally and physically, or verbally attacked me near-constantly.The community of students also were not intelligent. Was in an argument because a student got mad at me for when I losted off genres when he asked me about the types of media I consumed as one example I vivdly remember.Staff were below average. Some felt obviously tortured from their enviornment, some were terrible at giving directions, some obviously did not care. Which I personally view as not very professional.I do not recommend this school at all, nor the community. This was my experience as a former student taking Freshman year.

Completely terrible. Lunch is terrible, to be expected for most schools. Only 5 class periods in a day: math, science, social studies, English, and exploratory (Win, health, or gym). Only a few after school activities: basketball, track, cheerleading, robotics, and pretty brown girls. Not many opportunities. They lied about what we would do for the year.

I rate the school a 5 average due to the lack of teachers and parents collaboration in students knowledge and education skills

I would like to thank school district 149 for getting rid of Dirsksen Middle School and Dr.Young, The new school system is much better with the three schools in one, A special thanks to Miss Slate, she has control of her school and the kids are doing much better. This was A very good ideal. congrats to everyone!
