my overall experience with hope high school has been okay. i came here last year transferring from a school in new jersey. Hope is no what i thought not ever good in the academic feild
1/30/2024
I go to hope and there is only a few little problems, i am a freshman and i have IEP dyslexia, i am being put in classes that have NO freshman in, i tried talking to the school they do nothing about it. another thing is not many "lighter kids" feel comfortable to talk to the "darker kids" because they are very mean and rude, and there is not many "lighter kids." i didn't want to bring up anything about race but, as a lighter tone woman it's uncomfortable to be the only one in a class full off only "darker" and older kids, i struggle with anxiety very bad and when a teacher is making me have to introduce myself and tell them what grade i am in and feeling all of there eyes on me, its very uncomfortable. And there are bugs, like roaches bed bugs etc, there is also mice and rats all over the building. The building is in very bad shape.
