I recently graduated from armstrong and my whole time there was bad, teachers mostly try and help the student learn and succeed but other teacher sat on there phones the whole class not bothering to teacher anything. The staff in general some were nice while most rude to some students by making fun of them, guilt tripping them and more,
The diversity in the school was unique but that also meant that bulling happened more often and teachers and staff never did anything to stop it, they tried to use an app called "stop it" but even when kids to report something like bulling, threats or struggles the staff never did anything
The cafeteria food was sometimes just bad. The food came out not hot sometimes, ive seen food with hair on it and even bugs sometimes. Me and some of my other friends have even gotten food poisoning from that food.
The safety here at this school was decent but they could have done better especially when kids were bringbharmfull things to school they tried to check or backpack before we could get into the school, the first day they did it they check everything in there backpack, bag, purses. But after that they stop try and hardly check the bags even kids had said that if they wanted to bring something they could have cause they went checking thoroughly enough.

There is never homework, and there are no textbooks. How do you study without a textbook?

Apathetic. That has been our experience so far at this school.

The bad attitudes are overwhelming at this school.

There isn't enough time to focus on kids with needs when all they can focus on are the disruptive kids.
