I felt there was some great teachers but some didn't seem to care about our academic development and due to terrible curriculum and poor choices by our school board and district it created very easy classes and no learning at all, this is not at all good for preparing kids for high school, college and beyond

Very nice teachers, who truly care about their students. They may not always have all the answers, but they do their best, and they find additional resources when needed. They are always there for their students
