Great school always helpful have no complaints or anything

Very good care for students. Their responsibility towards students seems interesting.

My experience at this school 20 years ago was terrific. My teachers were EXCELLENT. Unfortunately, the school has dramatically declined. I am seeing this because I have two children who attend this school now. Most of their teachers are lazy and do not conduct lessons or facilitate class discussions. Hard to imagine, I know. My daughter's Senior AP English Lit teacher literally sits on top of a desk eating and telling the same four students (because she ignores the rest of the class) about her experience in middle school and high school. How about get off your butt and teach? It is not unusual for her to not even greet her class. How about preparing them for the AP Exam? She flat out told us that she does not prepare students for the AP Exam at Open House night. And the Art teacher...has given two lessons over three years. When my child asked her about giving lessons, her response was that by the time students reach her classroom they should already know what is needed. Are you kidding me? These are still children. They want to learn and they need lesson plans and to be taught. Why is this concept so difficult for them to understand? The math department functions the same way. The students are taught one simple, basic concept and then handed a board to do "board work" with problems they don't understand how to do because they have not been taught how to do it. Truly, truly so disappointed with this school. The school as a whole is not welcoming either. They seem to try to keep parents out of everything. Simply walk in the building and see how hateful the office staff is! Had I known just how terrible Bartlesville High School is, I never would have moved back to Bartlesville.
