Lower Town

If schools were graded, Harpers Ferry Middle would be at the very bottom with a solid F. The building looks like it’s about to collapse under its own weight—cracked walls, sagging ceilings, and an overall “haunted house” atmosphere that doesn’t exactly inspire learning.The food is just as bad. Most days it looks radioactive, glowing in colors that no meal should ever be. Calling it “lunch” feels like false advertising—it’s more like a science experiment that escaped the lab.This place needs a total overhaul. Right now, it’s less of a school and more of a warning sign for what happens when no one invests in education.— Patrick Flannery
