My experience at this school has been good so far. The teachers are helpful and strive to teach students no matter what it takes. In my experience, there has not been a teacher that does not want to teach a class. Overall, the education part of this school is great. However, the administration part needs to be improved because students get away from things easily without punishment.

John Handley High School is a place to be improved. First of all, students get into fights frequently, it's almost a weekly tradition. Also, teachers give students a lot of time to do things, by that I mean they are way too accepting of lazy work. A student who is hard-working and turns an assignment in on the due date gets the same amount of credit as a student who has turned an assignment in a week later.

My experience at John Handley High School hasn't been the greatest, but that's not to say that it was awful. High school has been my first experience in a large and also public school, so it was a different scene to fit into. While the school building is beautiful and there is lots of diversity, the teachers and administration seem to put in no effort, have no organization or communication, and don't fix any problems that come up. Overall it is just a very poorly run school.

This school gets a 1/10, here is why:I have noticed that our algebra teacher often gets upset with students for minor reasons, such as having their Chromebooks open, even when they are not using them. Additionally, the teacher tends to go off-topic during lessons, discussing unrelated personal stori...

This school is terrible!!! They have a huge drug problem, the staff is very much aware of but do nothing about it. They have an even bigger bullying problem. There are fights on a daily basis. The administrative staff have attitudes with students and their parents. They talk bad about students right...
