I've been a student at this school for currently 3 semesters, this is what I have to say:
Education/ Instruction
Education is about 50/50 in this school, there are about 3-4 classes I'm aware of that have teachers giving "free time" on a daily basis. It happens so frequently you'd get bored of it, basically letting students scream, run around, and do some immature acts around the classroom, last semester in Arabic class I barely touched the book due to the amount of free time that was given, the whole thing felt like a big disadvantage. However, some other Common Core subject's teachings are decent (E.g: English, Math, Science) though sometimes they can be slightly laid-back. They also hold "big" projects per semester which is pretty nice.
As for Instruction in class, It's pretty clear for the most part, except for a few classes where we get little to no instruction at all. Homework is usually only once per week, My biggest concern with it though, is in exams. Our review material in exams, is an ALREADY FILLED OUT worksheet with answers. The problem is that those EXACT questions in the worksheet come in the exams, which is basically cheating. Some students might not fully understand the subject, but still get good grades regardless by memorizing the answers of these worksheets.
Events:
Frequent Dress-Up Events on Thursday, I've dressed up at least 10 times throughout the school, I don't know if this is common in other schools, but I found it strange, they have different themes such as Red Day, Throwback Thursday, Dot Day, Pajama Day, etc.
STEM Fair, I think they hold this event once per academic year, basically where students present projects that are associated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Students:
Most students can be rude, throwing trash on the floor, constant swears and other profanities, gossiping insults about teachers, inappropriate language and/or drawings on the bathroom walls, breaking school dress codes and using phones to scroll on social media and/or do questionable things on it, there are only so few I've seen not do this.
Teachers:
MOST of the teachers are laid-back and focus on the topic at hand until completed, which is nice, but SOME of them are a bit too laid back, by that meaning scrolling on their phone and eating in class. I've also seen that whenever school advisors check if we're hiding any phones (which has only happened twice by the way) teachers actually help the students by hiding it for them, I've seen a group of maybe 20 students coming into to ask a teacher if she could hide their phones, which she did. She kept them in a big bag until the phone check was over, and all of the girls got their phones back.
Personally, my rating would be 2.5. Not the worst school but definitely not your first choice, I would recommend finding a better one if you can.
