This school is not exactly one of my best experiences, I'd say the school next door to it was a bit better. Bullying happens constantly, and teachers seem to not hear ityet when you pull out a phone, they suddenly have X-ray vision. I remember me and my best friend being bullied out loud by a group of boys, and the teacher was in the classroom, yet did nothing. The bullying was not subtle, it was out loud and mean. As well as the favoritism, certain students could joke around with teachers like they're best friends, come late to class, be on their phones, and it was treated like it was funny. Meanwhile, it felt as if when me and my friends even such as touched our phones, it was an issue. The dress code here is also stupid, it feels misogynisticlike most dress codes. The boys are allowed to sag their pants, and have their buttocks out, but girls are told they'll have to go home because of a cropped shirt. The boys here are also very disrespectful, and they bullying from them seems to be unheard more than anything. I have a friend who went here(moved schools) who was often bullied, and not a single thing was done. What pride and joy is this school preaching? I can't seem to find it.

I have learned and grown so much as a John Marshall Justice. I wouldnt change schools if I were offered $1 million. The staff and teachers are amazing. They do everything that they can to create a space for students to be heard and grow. They do what they can to engage us in fun and help us reach the level that we want to reach and grasp the opportunities that we want to obtain.

This school has grown so much and has put in the effort. The reviews and reports of this school is outdated and are not accurate please go into the school to speak with administrators. I am a recent alumni from here, class of 2020 and this school is an amazing place with teachers and administrators who deeply care about the students do not let what you read on this site discourage you from sending your children here

My school needs improvement! The facility is falling apart and some of the teachers and administrators needs to be reevaluated on how to treat students, how to teach students, and how to respect every one as an individual instead of being prejudice towards all. We are all not the same. This school has little to offer this year; it is very unchallenged academically. Majority of the activities organized here are neither organized nor efficient; it is very untimely. This school wasted a year of my academic time to become a better student and has caused nothing but stress.

teachers do their best to pass these kids, even if it means putting in fake assignments to raise the grades. there are fights all the time, almost every day. no ethnic diversity, its 99% black, i think theres two or three white kids in the whole school. there are some decent teachers, if your thinking about sending your kid here, encourage them to take AP classes, for they are far easier here than at any other schools.
