My high school is ghetto.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Well, I suppose my school is poor, not nearly enough AP classes, even more dismal pass rates...
Clubs are nothing but lunch in a classroom hours. Some teachers are horrible, and remind me of when I used to "earn" my grades. Kids act gangstaa everywhere, and graduation rate is just horrible. The four year college attendance rate is probably 5% of the school. People never heard of Brown, Cornell, U Penn, Dartmouth, or anything outside of HYPS really. SAT taking rates are horrible and scores are even worse.</p>

<p>On a more positive tone, some of our teachers really care, and our guidance counselors are fabulous. Teachers try to put up AP classes even if there are only 7 students interested. Kids are really nice all around, and they don't seem to be druggies. One hardworker every year goes to UCLA or Berkeley. So I guess it could be worse. I love my school and would donate regularly when I get a job.</p>

<p>omfg! I almost forgot. There were 5 bomb threats last year, all over the course of 2 weeks. And only 30% of the senior class last year went onto a 4 year university or college, and 30% flunked out/dropped out within the first year. </p>

<p>But yes, must not forget the positive. We have a few really good english/history teachers, and a pretty good music program. And off-campus lunch. woo!</p>
