Douglass High School

It’s an overall good school but the staff needs improvement. They lack communication skills. Between teachers and other staff members covering up mistakes, To waiting for the last min to report an accident.. I’m started to realize the name of the school now.

So far in this 2018-2019 school year...we love Pleasant Hill! The staff is awesome, friendly and so very kind. I can really appreciate the small welcoming experience that Pleasant Hill provides.

I’m happy to say my daughter is doing excellent work with her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Ferguson is awesome and we are thankful to be in a great school district.

Awesome! Wish it went to the 12th grade.

I'm a student at the John Rex JUNIOR HIGH, this review is not towards the elementary. But towards the Junior high. First off, the principal/teachers. The principal at this school is in my opinion not good, though she can be good at times, she doesn't handle situations well. For example, I'm a very accident prone person, I get injured a lot. one time I bruised my tailbone and sprained my ankle playing soccer, when I went to the doctor because it hurt to much to move, the doctor told me I needed to stay inside and not participate in recess, next day I stayed inside the office for that day. The principal walked in and kicked me out of the office and said I was "fine and the office is only for sick people". She kicked me out the office 8 times during my recovery period, the checkup after the deadline, the doctor told me that I was actually worse. Another problem with the principal is that she does basically nothing about bullying. For example, one day I had a not so good haircut, that day I wore a hoodie, during a transition between classes, a student tried pulling off my hoodie and ended up lacerating my eye leading to permanent damage, when me and my parents asked the principal about it, she avoided doing anything about us and just told she'd look into it. The student never got in trouble. She does nothing about anybody who bullies me as well. Next, the electives. We're over here funding unnecessary electives like esports, doing the math, each PC could cost about $1000, and we have almost ten. Not including monitors, mouses, keyboards, and pads. This elective is teaching us nothing useful in life. While when we moved into the basement of the Carnegie building, the performing arts elective which is what I do for a living and plan to major in and do professionally in the future was abolished. Though eSports is fun, it doesn't teach us any life skills, though it could be considered bias, we don't have Spanish, which I think is a necessary for schools because it's USEFUL for people to at least know two languages. Next is the building, to keep it short. We practically live in a basement, I shouldn't walk out of the building and be blinded by the sunlight, that just sounds wrong. I could write at least two more reviews on this school. The only good thing about this school is the nice teachers.
