This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

10/27/2022

Martha Layne Collins High School is very diverse and interesting. There's lots of options about what you're interested in.

3.0 Alum

8/21/2022

My overall high school experience was good. I had a close set of friends, did well in my classes without stressing out about homework, and had fun without risking my health and safety. My teachers were amazing as well. It started to go downhill during my senior year, but I partly attribute that to the pandemic. From what I've heard, I wouldn't want to be there now, but when I was there I had an enjoyable high school experience.

Multiple girls, individual stories, similar pattern, one common boy. Nothing done. Collins protects predators at the expense of girls.
