Make sure you watch out for your kids at this school. Be on top of the principle and teachers to make sure your kids and your rights are protected.

I'm a current student at Bednarcik Jr. High School and I believe the school is lacking in a lot of categories. A lot of fights happen in the school and people will gather up in one area (making it hard to get to class) and they get suspended for a week or so. Some teachers lose your stuff and then blame it on you or they spend all of the class time to talk about stuff that doesn't relate to the unit (My fellow peers know who). A lot of students at B]HS skip classes in the bathroom and don't get caught. Also, a lot of students got really good at hiding their phones. Now I personally saved the worst for last, I get severely bullied, getting called, fat, ugly, werido, freak, monster, worthless, witch and many more on the daily. Physical interactions happen and once it was in front of a teacher. I told the counselor and all she said, "Its your word against the teachers". Now a lot of teachers do care about your mental health when I was in 6th grade Ms. White helped me out a lot with emotions and friends (jerks) in my opinion Ms. White deserves a shout out! I did forget to mention the bathrooms are really gross.

With 4 kids going through this school, I was really satisfied. The honors programs are great, but watch out for math. Honors Algebra II was more difficult for my kids than calculus. Cross country was great and full of good kids. The baseball program is not good which has been true for awhile. I've seen many good players quit. If you've watch the movie Moneyball where Billy Bean talks with the scouts, I picture a lot of that going on with players.
