GWS is an amazing place for kids to go to school. The entire staff is supportive and encouraging and make learning fun!

I dropped out on my 4th year terrible school

This school is garbage filed dump of a learning space. Kids? Horrible. Teachers? Not helpful. Learning topics? Uninteresting to teenagers. When you go ask for help with social issues, guidance only makes it worse by somehow making the whole ordeal even bigger than it already was. Guidance isn’t friendly and kids only go there to skip class. Some teachers are great, but unqualified and don’t teach. Other teachers are harsh and are extremely biased. Kids in the school are toxic and fake. Bullying is not dealt properly with. Many kids do drugs in the bathroom and this isn’t addressed. The school is also putting money into the wrong places, they claim that they are improving the school by giving us new things like new lunch table (which we got this year). We didn’t need those tables and the money could have gone to teachers (who already don’t get paid enough) to buy supplies that they currently have to buy themselves. The kids at school are very cliquey and are unfriendly and mean to others. I have found in middle school that everyone talks about everyone. I mentioned bullying not being addressed earlier. We get multiple presentations on bullying and cyber bullying every year, we even get a month dedicated to anti bullying. Other than that no one really does anything about bullying. I find that the staff at the school focus more on the smaller issues than the bigger ones. A couple of my friends have had really big friend group issues over the past few years (not my friend group). These groups of people were really toxic and basically soul sucking to around. My friends went to the school about the issue hoping that they could help. Both times guidance, trusted teachers, and the principal did nothing about it. I mind you these incidents were over the course of two years, so this shows how unorganized they are. The most I have seen guidance do is call the child’s guardian and tell them that their child is in need of assistance, one time they even called my friends parents and told them that their child was ungrateful and rude (I won’t say why because it’s not my story to tell, but I promise she was not being ungrateful and rude). Overall Furnace Brooke Middle School is not the environment I would want to be put in if I had a choice. I would not recommend going into this sink hole of a school.
