Washington High School

If you're thinking about bringing your child here.... Please don't. This school is actual trash fr. Used to get good grades, then I came here ( thanks for lowering my chances at going to a good college Washington high) The teaching style is super old fashion and teachers don't do much to engage students to actually make them excited about school. Its pretty much just " Everything is this class is busy-work, but, here's a review, study it and I'm gonna quiz you on something that wasn't even on the test review" Plus the lunch is horrible 75% of the time.

I have worked at WHS since it opened. I, too, transferred from the other JCS high school and even still today know it was the best decision for me. This school is administered by faculty and staff to promote student education, to prepare them for the "real world." The public school system is to provide education, not a social time; therefore, it's only appropriate that there is a "turn off your electronic devices" rule in place once the school day begins. There are many employers that have this same policy as well as a dress code. They're here to learn not socialize or make a fashion statement. If students do not learn the simple rules of life, they will have a difficult time of adjusting when they graduate and catapult into working for a living. Graduation rate at WHS is 95%

My current opinion of this school is it is well organized, informative and a good learning environment. The rules are expected to be followed and the students are held accountable for ther actions. I believe in structure and communication and that is what I have experienced .

This school has an extremely homophobic principal,, who is a narcissistic bully. And who refuses to accept the fact that kids have the right to express them selves in who they are or in how they identify. For example she refused a boy the right to play football simply because he was gay. She also favors the cheerleading team,, they can wear skirts as short as they like yet no one else can.

I hate this school. There is a lack of PROPER accommodations for certain students and some of their rules interfere with my academic and HOME life. It is an awful place. The only thing good about this high school and/or penitentiary is most of my teachers are very nice. Below I am recommending some excellent teachers if you have a child transferring or graduating there. Excellent Teachers: Mr. Patton - Special Education/Track Coach Mr. Nusbaum - 12th Grade English Mrs. Ober - Art I Mrs. Hallex - 9th Grade Math (Rather strict, but if you behave, she will be your favorite teacher) Mr. Barret - Health/Sex Ed Thanks for reading! PS Do not send your child there if he or she wants to work with computers or technology for a living. They DO NOT tolerate ANY electronics on school grounds. For Parents: If you want you're child to have a easier time there, make sure you get to know Mrs. Marcus (the principal) personally. If she like you and your child, it will barely be a struggle.
