The worst part would be the school building and the teacher shortage. We have a very old school that was constantly being remodeled but was always leaking and had no weight room or track. We had teachers leaving often and some that didn't have a teaching license. our math and science departments struggled a lot. One good thing was the English program and PSEO opportunities. I would like to see more effort put into making sure the new teachers are teaching properly and that the students are learning from them.

Most teachers do their best to ensure success with their students. Many of them even have morning help sessions, so that students can be better prepared for tests and quizzes.
