The blatant favoritism at this school and who the administration chooses to get in trouble and who they let slide is obvious. How can you let two girls walk past you, both wearing the same outfit, and only say something to one? The vice principal is stuck up, thinks he's better than everyone and is your average highschool bully. you never see the principal, ever. Half of these teachers don't teach, some of them are just straight up disrespectful and miserable and very obviously hate their jobs. some of them just can't be bothered to show up to class some days. They tell you to be on your best behavior or they write you up the day before the district visits, and only then will they teach. Roaches everywhere, rats in the vents, holes in the wall. The janitors can't be bothered to do what they're paid for, bathrooms will go days without soap or toilet paper or even being cleaned. Mold growing in the vents, massive cracks forming between the floors and baseboards. The school counselor is miserable, several students and even teachers hate talking to her. I understand that being a school counselor may not be the best job, especially in this district, but if you're so bad that even teachers don't like interacting with you and ninety percent of the students can't stand you? I believe that says a lot. There's no communication between the school and parents, or at all period. If you can, absolutely avoid sending your kids here.

I love the school but I just think some of the people there backpack with certain student and it’s a big deal to me as a parent kids there to learn and get a education.

This school might not be one of the best in richmond county. But, this school has alot to handle because of the type of children they have to deal with. They also have alot of programs for the students to get into. For example: JWC Dance Team, Brodcast (Morning show), Chorus,Math team, Art, Track, ect. The school has just started to offer new clubs and things like: Student Council, Girl Scouts, SCience Club, Cooking Club, Board Games Club, Spelling Bee, and much more. For any students to participate they have to maintain a average grade over an 80. The schools also gets lots of parent volunteers for school dances and parties. There is also a boys & GIrls Club next door which the school shares a gym with. But the Boys & Girls Club really helps alot for after school care, School holidays care, and summer camp. IT is alright!
