Good education and there is after school activities. The teachers are nice to students. Also students are nice to here peers.

As I'm sure you can tell through the ratings, below-average scores on everything. And I'm not implying that the students are all at fault. The effort is just not there, and it further causes the students to be unmotivated as well. The homework approach is apparently non-existent according to the students, and as I've personally experienced, the students are not encouraged to have good behavior or grades. The monitoring of student behavior and bullying is also flat-out bad. There is just absolutely no motivation or improvement within this school, and I wish this would change. Over half of the student population is low-income, which should signal MORE efforts and improvements towards the school, but the only the opposite is observed. So for now, I do not recommend this school at all. I would like to see some big changes. And I am also familiar with one of the students in particular who hasn't been receiving the right approach towards his education, therefore making him very unmotivated and indifferent about his education. Personally, I realize how important education is, and though this rating may seem harsh, I hope to spread some awareness about the underlying flaws of this school, and how detrimental they are to these young students in the long run. In addition, people with mental disabilities (no matter how small) have constantly not been given the right attention, which is because of very poor leadership (whether it be amongst teachers or higher staff). Real empathy and care between students and teachers have practically died at this school, which makes the atmosphere (and the school as a whole) a melancholy, sad place. For example, students with ADD or ADHD may feel devalued due to their failing efforts to improve in their education, but the fundamental poor leadership at this school, as well as the lack of adaptable teaching methods, makes many students feel at fault. The students should never feel at fault for a careless school such as this one, and overall, I am worried about Vineland Senior High School's future. I am constantly baffled by the carelessness of this school, and with the student exam grades, I am unnerved that changes are not being consistently tried and/or made. I really hope that people will see the importance of supporting schools like these, especially for low-income families, because education is just so important. And sloppy schools such as VSHS make it so hard for the students overall. Please look into your schools' flaws.

We, and our daughter loves this school. The teachers are awesome! They are highly educated and really care about their kids. I can’t wait for my younger daughter to go here. Keep up the great work! And thank you for teaching my kids.
