I personally enjoy my experience at this school, but not as a student. As a classmate, and friend - yes! The people who go to this school are very intelligent and are going to amazing places, but our school system is horrible. There are so many problems I have suggested we fix, but then whoever I talk to will laugh in my face. Other students and I have tried to rally together to fight the school system but there is not much we can do when the administrators have the final say. If you are not in a Sport, JROTC or Band you are treated unfairly. Teachers actively make fun of clubs and our school news channel doesn't talk about how the students are being treated by teachers and administration because they are not allowed to. The coaches in this school, the Army Instructors and the band director are the only teachers I feel as though I can trust. Counselors are practically useless and are used as schedulers instead of doing the job they were hired for. Anyone in Administration will ignore you and degrade you for asking for help. This school has some serious problems that I think students know how to fix, but will ultimately be ignored.

a teacher refused to let my child use the restroom because "she has chances to go in other classes." She informed her that she has blatter problems as well but the teacher still denied her access.

Because this school helps kids learn the trade they want to do in life and learn life lessons as well.

A++++++++++ safe, secure, reliable, caring, and supportive

By far, this school is the only way to go in Chattanooga. These students are college ready before they complete their 9th grade, and they are living breathing college from day one. Absolutely no other school on this side of the state comes anywhere near the test scores or graduation rates. And a nice plus - the leadership and staff are a pleasure to work with. They know their stuff and treat our children as if they were theirs. I've looked to relocate with my job to other states, and I can tell you that a program this good is very, very rare indeed. This one school is worth staying here until they graduate and in the U of Tn system for another two years at least.

Former teacher here - one of the worst teaching experiences of my life. Principal singles out teachers who have a back bone and bullies them to the verge of quitting. Absolutely zero encouragement in times of need, claims to be supportive but is very much the opposite. Student safety is also a concern. Contrary to what Baker will say, there are SO many behavior problems to the point it is affecting the other students. Fights almost weekly, bullying, classroom disruptions, etc.. In my time being there we had multiple gun threats from students and they were allowed back to school within a day or two and nothing was done long term. Overall I would NEVER send my own child to this school or ever recommend working there. Considering this past year she had to restaff almost the entire building, it should speak volumes to the administration and how the school is being run. 0/10 do not recommend!!!

same as everyone else. There are problems with the high school they don't really teach they just yell at the kids they just have a very boring "do this" and never actually get any learning.

For the 2015-2016 school year I have been extremely pleased with STEM school. The principal and staff members actually want their students to succeed. The class sizes are small, students take ownership of their work and other responsibilities, and the environment is exactly what I wanted for my son.
