Students develop an attitude of not caring because when they get to the school, that's the attitude that is encouraged. The school environment is unsafe and the students are out of control. Good teachers leave because they are treated poorly and only unqualified staff stays. So many unprepared students are mixed in with the magnet students in the magnet classes that magnet classes must be watered down to compensate for students with lack of reading and writing skills.

I attend this school and the opportunities that the engineering program offers are amazing. I recently took a trip to Fredericksburg TX with my rocketry class and launch our high powered rocket. The launch of our rocket was succesful and we all had a great time building our rocket. The various amounts of careers that this school can prep you for are great. This school can lead you into any engineering field. I am currently seeking a career in mechanical engineering.

I'm a senior at Booker T. Washington currently and I'm going to have to disagree with all of the previous reviews. I've really enjoyed my years at Booker T. and learned a lot about engineering. I recently got accepted to Rice University for mechanical engineering.
