Leadership assuming this is towards the school staff, this is a big case. Because while the staff are usually kind and are understanding of a student. Many of them are disrespected by the students with them usually snickering insults in their own friend group, and as for the teachers some students just simply leave the classroom just because they are bored and are not able to understand why they are learning a topic during class. So for the staff, you do great work, but you are not gaining a lot of respect from a lot of students.

If I had to keep this simple, no. If anything, they make the student with learning differences want to learn far less and want to just ignore the teacher. Many are still bullied since 7th grade and honestly, I feel really bad for them.

Like in my earlier statement, students are still bullied and said bullies are still bullies. Many have been through detention, suspension, etc. But they still will not give up. Many ridicule others based on opinions and not look at the victim as a person, but as a weird kid that is obviously worse than him in every regard.

I would honestly objectively give this school a 2/5. But I decided to have it as a 3/5, the reasons are that every students experience differ from mine. I am a 9th grader ready to graduate next semester, and I have a lot of good moments during my 3 years in junior high. Was is all great? Heck no! These were some of my lowest points in my life! But I pulled through, and I enjoyed my time making new (but few) friends, and my time with grades have been decent. I don't think this is the best place for people with any learning problems whatsoever, they will just have a harder time with what they are given. If you want to have a school where your student will grow as a person and learn the most amount? No, there are plenty of other schools that do far better than that, especially in the Puyallup school district. But if you live close to Stahl, or do not have any other option. It is a decent school, not one which many will have a lot of fond memories, but definitely be enough to get them into high school. These are just my experiences as a B-A student, and my perspective may be totally different from someone else. So take my words as you will, and go to the school that best fits any student.

I do not think this school is at all effective with the turn in rate it has been getting. In fact, we had way over 100 missing assignments in just one period, and that is the class with the least amount of missing assignments. I think this is because of how we dropped physical planners and even if they are annoying, they still helped remind us since its easier to just look over a planner over turning on a school laptop and taking 3 minutes to see if the teacher suddenly remembers to write out the planner throughout the month. I do think this can be improved overtime as this is the first year we had laptops given to every student and not just the 7th graders, but as of this year of 2019. I would have to strongly disagree with this.

Most teachers understand and relate to the students enough to encourage them to learn, however some just simply insult a student if they are not doing something correctly, and will make them feel pressured towards the whole class. Even if that is the case, they should at least correct them and help them learn the topic as a teacher should. However, those sour teachers will only insult and give vague statements such as "Why do you not have this?" "No, why are you doing that?" "Is that your rough draft?" However, for the actual good teachers I will have to give points towards them, and not the sour teachers who only seems to insult the person not being able to understand certain topics instead of helping them. And also thankfully, the good teachers are the majority. But the sour ones honestly hurt the students overall.

I had a child here in the past that was still bullied after intervention by the principal.

It’s a 5 on a scale from 5-10. My daughter is acknowledged as an A student, but, she tries out for parts , broadcaster & hasn’t received parts. She’s done ballet, played in orchestra for 3 years, choir for 2 years and is an great artist. Yet, not enough is five to help her excel in extra curricular activities. She’s discouraged at this point.
