L.W. Higgins High School

this schools has made my want to dropout as an freshmen it's that bad

I graduated from L.W. Higgins in 2008. Not only were the teachers mostly just babysitting us but my reading comprehension level actually went down from my 10 grade year to my 12th grade. The school was more concerned with keeping us in line by having a large disciplinarian staff and strict dress codes. Our school counselors did not give us counseling in fact some students could not graduate their senior years due to poor counseling. There were no tutoring programs and no art programs either. I was not prepared for university and struggled to form studying habits. The teachers did not like giving us work , but some did wonderful jobs , mostly the older teachers who had been at the school for awhile . We were already filled with Teach for America Teachers by this time and most of them were not prepared for the type of attitudes the children have. The school was underfunded . My senior year we had an assembly in the cafeteria for the juniors and seniors persuading us to drop out and work for the Domino Sugar plant. That if we dropped out that day we could make 30k a year which in their opinion was good for an 18 year old.

My school is a very safe school. The teachers are ready to teach, They are always looking out for the students. when I go to school i am ready to learn.
