there were no math teacher during almost the whole year. My sun had С inspire the fact that he was attending math school. Bullying is an issue at the school, but administration is taking care about this issue quite well. No sports field available, the student have PE on asphalt. All is dirty and old.

I used to come here and they were teaching me, 3rd-grade classes, even though I was advanced and accelerated. They didn't want to move me at all until they found out that I was going to Virgil Middle School. I can infer that they just want to have as many intelligent kids for their reputation. one time a teacher was making fun of a kid because his project "was horrible" he was being so rude and mean that I felt like crying. It felt like he was saying it to me. The worse part was when he told the whole class to join in and make fun of him. The teacher is just teaching the kids that bullying is ok.

This school is definitely discriminatory. Many of the administrators have favoritism towards diversity. Most of the administrators are Caucasian and based on student they handle situations differently the way they look and behave.
