Reitz Hill

When I moved to this school, I looked everywhere online to find more information about it. This review will attempt to cover everything that I had once wanted to see. I will attempt to give a positive for every negative I have.The academics here are sort of lacking. Most of the classes are geared towards kids who could not pass standardized testing (ISTEP) and even the honors classes are behind what better schools can offer. Therefore, I encourage everyone to take AP and dual credits as soon as possible because these classes have most of the best teachers of the school.The student culture here can be a little toxic. While there is a lot of encouragement towards clubs and sports, many students label those who work hard as "try-hards." Cheating is also a large issue at this school and makes homework sort of pointless to assign in the first place, but this isn't that big of an issue because most of the kids who cheat fail their tests. Karma!Overall, you can find good teachers and classes to take here so long as you fit into the accepted mold. So long as you can make the most of what is provided, you will thrive.Suggestion: if interested in harder classes or more specialized instruction, apply to Signature School or one of EVSC's pullout programs.
