Durham is a good school with good teachers who teaches brilliant students

I believe that the school itself is alright, the teachers are alright, but the admins and (some) counselors are absolute garbage. They are horrible at managing subs, fired a teacher without an investigation (but instead won't fire a teacher who doesn't even teach the students at all and sits in his desk all day) during a teacher shortage which ruined my World History class and am now not being taught a single thing with a long term sub who doesn't even come to school on time, leaving us outside after the bell for up to 5 minutes most of the time. One of the counselors barely even helps, I asked them for an email and they directed me to the school website when I specified I couldn't find the email on there. The vice principals are rude and proceed to accuse people harshly of things just because they were told something by another student without any proof. But I will admit that the school system is good and most teachers are good.

I am a student at Walters Middle School. The school itself is outstanding. The teachers are really helpful, understanding, and appreciative. You can't get in trouble very easily. The teachers are lenient, which can be viewed as a good or bad thing. The P.E. teachers are very understanding; only certain teachers make you run the mile very often. The teachers themselves are very observant. I twisted my ankle, and the P.E. teacher excused me from running without a parent note or a doctor's note because they saw I was limping. I was in this school for 2 years, and I can gladly say that it was the best 2 years of my life. The counselors are super duper helpful. With that said, there are some teachers that can be rude sometimes, but there's no particular staff member who is really rude. I loved the 2 years I spent at Walters Middle School.
