Lafollette School

I never been to this school to be honest but a somebody told me about this school. It was okay if you grew up there but bad it's that's a good way to explain it. :)

Awful and will never go back another year.

Every school has its strengths and weaknesses, but some institutions stand out more for their flaws than their achievements. CTA, in this case, represents a school environment that fails to meet the expectations of students in several key areas, including academic quality, student support, school culture, and overall environment. While no school is perfect, CTA consistently demonstrates issues that negatively impact student success, motivation, and well-being. For many students, attending CTA feels less like an opportunity for growth and more like an obstacle to overcome.One of the biggest problems with CTA is its academic structure. A school’s primary purpose is to educate its students effectively, yet CTA struggles to provide a consistent and engaging learning experience. Many classes lack organization, with unclear expectations and inconsistent teaching methods. Some teachers may be passionate and dedicated, but the overall system does not support them in a way that allows students to benefit fully. Lessons can feel repetitive, outdated, or disconnected from real-world applications, making it difficult for students to stay interested or motivated.Additionally, CTA often fails to challenge students appropriately. Some classes move too slowly, leaving advanced students bored and unengaged, while others move too quickly without providing enough support for those who need help. This imbalance creates a frustrating environment where students either feel held back or completely lost. A strong school should adapt to different learning styles and levels, but CTA does not consistently achieve this balance.Another major issue is the lack of student support. Schools are supposed to provide guidance not only academically but also emotionally and socially. At CTA, students often feel overlooked or unsupported. Counseling services may be limited, difficult to access, or not as helpful as they should be. When students face challenges—whether it’s stress, personal problems, or academic struggles—they may not receive the attention or resources they need to overcome them.

In my personal opinion as a student who goes to Messmer High School, And started going here around my freshman year which was when the pandemic started. The virtual school was more coordinated then the In- person learning and had a better balance at the work that had been assigned to students for my experience. There's overwhelming amounts of work at high expectations assigned in short periods of times that leaves students drained, exhausted, and unmotivated. Furthermore the teachers are okay, It just depends on who you have and if there understanding enough to adapt to what works best for you to learn better as a student but if not your most likely to fail that class. In my experience, the emotional support here is alright but it could always improve the guidance counselors are nice and the overall staff members are neutral at being supportive. They offer lots of courses and chances to earn extra credits and credits you missed if you take the opportunity to take it serious which I find great because it gives students like myself an advantage. However, Messmer is not for everyone. And if you feel like you just want to get through school without high expectation put on you and they're quick to inform your parents of anything you do or something that happens in the school, I would definitely consider another school for you if you can't handle that.
