They do nothing for high school students. We don’t get 2 have are phones and the area is not that safe if a shooting would have happen I would at least like to have my phone so I can text my parents or if anything.
Posted by a student on 7/24/2024Example: They make sure that the kids understand what their doing. And I love that about this school.

definitely some of the finest teachers and students in the city! Their sports programs are also dynamite
Posted by a principal on 2/21/2019I feel as though this school tries to focus on the wrong things like uniforms, they will keep you out of class for the smallest thing wrong with your uniform, teacher-student relationships, they fire any teachers that are "too comfortable" with the students, and their reward systems fail halfway thr

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school's performance has been extremely concerning. My child was neglected, denied water, and not provided with any meaningful education. I have documented evidence of these incidents on a device I sent to the school. Even during a season when hydration is crucial, my child was not given water. Moreover, the teachers ignored my child and, in some cases, used force to teach him. These experiences caused significant emotional distress for my son. It's disappointing to think about how many other children, especially those from minority backgrounds, might have been negatively affected by this school's inadequate service. As a result, I decided to withdraw my son from this school. They refuse to mark. Him as homeschooling. Thus creating a "cps" situation I'M sure they are itching to achieve. Let this be known he's been in home school for 3 years. It's my choice. The system is BROKEN. Do not recommend. You take a chance.Parent Review2y ago - Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is very unorganized I feel like the principal doesn't do anything and only cares about her reputation. The social emotional support and special education is SO BAD, the learning is really bad too I learned nothing at this school. They are low on staff, the school couldn't find teachers since the start of the school year because the teachers DO NOT want to go to this school. I did not have a homeroom teacher for the school year so we basically didn't learn anything same with having a substitute for the math teacher and when the math teacher was there they got angry at us for us not understanding the way of how they teach. I feel unprepared for high school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOUR CHILD GOING TO THIS SCHOOL THEY WILL LEARN NOTHING HERE PLUS THE SCHOOL REALLY NEEDS TO UPGRADE THE BUILDING THE CEILINGS IS CRUMBLING.Other Review1y ago - Claremont Academy Elementary School
