LET ME OUT PLEASE GOD ....a lot could be improved im writing this so i reach the character limit. am I there yet? there we go

The worst part of going to Morton was the lack of safety, during my time at morton there were many threats to the school with school shootings and many times it felt as though administration did not take it as serious.I would like to see change in the school safety, I would also like to see change in the cleanliness of the school. We had rats run around the school many times and there would be roaches at the school. The best part of Morton is is how kind most of the teachers are they truly care for you as if you were theirs.

The security needs to be more helpful to the high School students. The high school needs more disciple and more fun activities for students after school programs.

I did not want to send my kid here at all but she’s about to graduate and she did just fine. She’s going to a decent college and i’ve noticed that most of the negative reviews are years old. This school definitely was really bad at one point but it certainly isn’t anymore! I definitely recommend giv...
