Being at Philip Barbour High School is a great experience, you meet new people and connect with them and the learning environment is great.

Teachers are not even certified in what they are "teaching". There are bus cancellations every single day and children cannot go to school. Faculty and administration are hired due to names, not abilities. Our children are being stripped of their right to learn due to incompetency.

I have been both a student and a parent in this school system. I have been in many other areas in the country, and Philip Barbour falls way short of what other school systems are doing to provide quality education and environment for their students. To be fair, a lot of the issues are not just the s...
