My school time was between 2020-2024 and at that time, we had gone threw 3 different principals. No rules were ever concrete and neither were consequences, which lead to many kids acting out because they knew they could. There were also a lot of issues with miss allocated fund that were spent a useless things (yonder pouches) the really reduced available school funding. This lead to many things that gave our school culture and a sense of fun to be taken away because it couldnt be afforded.

Gary Comer College Prep has very rigorous coursework as well disciplinary system. They use a system of demerits and merits where 4 demerits equal a 3 hour detention on Fridays when most students are let out at 1:05pm.
