this school doesnt help with problems at all it feels like you have to solve them all by yourself its like your asking yourself the questions and all they do for support is just make you attend a reassessment after school which doesnt help at all because no one is there to really teach you about things you need help with. so far in general this school isnt a very good one for kids that want to learn and that really need help with things in life there is only about a 1% amount of the teachers or people that atleast work there that really give you a boost and learning and making you want to keep trying but in general this school isnt good at all what so ever at helping a student want to learn or achieve anything 2/10

I love the people that I have met at John Dewey. The college admissions office didn't really prepare me for the amount of things that I now have to do for my first year of college. It didn't prepare me for loans or for how difficult the transition process was going to be. Because of that, I am struggling to get my stuff prepared for my first year of college. I feel like they babied us a bit too much, where we weren't able to grasp the change that we will have to adapt to.

John dewey high school is amazing in aspects of support. There are teachers who are truthfully in love with their jobs and make our days better as a whole. We have support if we're low income and even more so if we're diverse.

There are so many opportunities and connections that you can get in this school. There are so many clubs, and if you're ever in doubt, you can always create your club by having your friends or people come with you. There are always people (both staff and students) willing to help you when in need. E...

My experience at John Dewey High School was great. First, I liked how every student, including myself, was able to choose their own schedule for all of the four years. The time when we had to choose our own schedule every cycle was the best time for me. It was the best time for me because I was able...
