Best school in the area great people

Having graduated from Martinsburg High School, I can attest to the education I received. While some may point out bad educators, at any school there will always be teachers who stand out among the crowd and others who probably should have pursued a different career. Nonetheless, 90% of the educators I had worked hard, instructed with all their hearts, and instilled a sense of compassion and diversity that is so important today. Martinsburg High School is undoubtedly the most diverse in the Berkeley County area. Seeing the events of 2020, one cannot undervalue how important that is. While an instructional education lays the groundwork for a child's formal education, there is education in being exposed to people of different ethnicities and socio-economic statuses. That is something that cannot necessarily be taught but rather learned through life's exposure.As a straight A student, I was able to push myself academically at MHS. The schools offers a wide variety of honors and advanced placement courses. The teachers I had genuinely cared about the life of their students. When i had questions or concerns, I was able to stay after the day was over and ask whatever was needed. The teachers don't get paid for that extra time but they gladly give it. If any parents says that students at MHS cannot excel, they're wrong. Like I mentioned above, they'll be afforded an education that not only comes from coursework but the beauty of diversity.

They all need to retrain the staff on how to handle and teach kids with special needs. Additionally, they need to ensure the school has the proper equipment. Lastly, perhaps they should consider paying the staff a higher salary. These teachers should be paid $30-35 per hour to potentially increase their motivation and dedication.

atrocious - who wouldn't remove their child?
