I had an overall good time at Shaw personally, but what I saw around me was not good. Admin lack accountability. Students don't care about the school.
9/14/2024
I learned a lot going to Shaw, however the student experience was bad. From fights, teachers, to administration.
5/14/2024
The best experience is the sports. Sports here are amazing and I've always love the part of the year when it comes to my sport with is track just love it. The worst part is the students cause sometimes they can be a bit much but it's like half and half with the students cause there are some really good students but just like any other schools there are some students that are attention seeking I would call it. Change I would like to see is the rules like these policies we have I would like to see a change in.

This school should be shut down at this rate. 15 minutes for lunch (which is always undercooked) i’m sick of eating soggy pizza with a fork. Teachers are inappropriate and unprofessional they don’t even know what they’re teaching or how to run a classroom. The environment at shaw is always hostile b...

this school sucks so bad, heavy on racism, so many fights every part of the day, they don’t teach at all, this school is not a caring school what so ever and should get closed down.
2/12/2023
Subpar conditions. This school is unorganized. The administration is a joke. Children are constantly distracted. There are too many fights. Work is not rigorous, not even for the gifted.
