This school year most of the teachers are brand new, straight out of college. Before a lot of the teachers weren't very good at teaching and just here, "Here's your laptop, read the assignment on google docs and do it." Now there is much more interaction with the students. We can't tell really how much better the teaching will be yet, but it has definitely improved on that respect. One problem a lot of the system has is that it does emphasize too much on sports no matter what season it is (soccer, basketball, or baseball/softball). The students regularly get taken out of school to go to away games several hours away or even practice just outside of the school. They also have the new 1-4 grading system that doesn't prepare anyone for life beyond school with almost no deadlines. The school also tries to integrate special needs students with regular learning students, and most of the time this really doesn't help anyone. There have only been problems. Almost everyday we have "code greens" go off, which means a special needs student needs restraining. It is improving though, it's just taking longer than anyone is expecting.
