<p>Mine doesn't have HL Math nor HL Physics.</p>
<p>RAGE.</p>
<p>And that we're supposed to get our PSATs on the 20th, when everyone else got them before break D:< </p>
<p>MOAR RAGE.</p>
<p>that school hours are from 7AM - 2PM when it would be better to have it 9AM - 4PM imo</p>
<p>waking up early sucks</p>
<p>My school doesn’t have HL physics.</p>
<p>Not having HL math is a cardinal sin.</p>
<p>We don’t have solid physics courses.
We don’t have IB psych or IB philosophy.</p>
<p>Our IB Coordinator seriously made an ******* decision.</p>
<p>We got our PSATs very late.</p>
<p>The asian girls here don’t like black guys.</p>
<p>It’s not Hogwarts. :(</p>
<p>^true story.</p>
<p>Starting with my class our school isn’t naming anyone valedictorian or salutatorian. I guess because of all that everyone is equal crap.</p>
<p>CC is blocked, Facebook isn’t.
We have really low SAT average scores.
Everyone’s obsessed with sports.
It’s the only public high school…and this isn’t a small town or anything, it’s pretty big.
The admins don’t release rankings.
If you don’t turn in an assignment, the grade is a 40% instead of a 0%
I can’t take AP Spanish 5 in freshman year, even though I’m at a level where I can handle it.
The list goes on…</p>
<p>My school failed at helping with college apps. I had to spend every day for 2 months in the counselors office to get my school reports filled out and sent. </p>
<p>We’re really poor. </p>
<p>They censor us in our newspaper, newscast, and clubs… </p>
<p>Half our teachers are stoners. </p>
<p>That’s about the extent of my complaints. It could get a lot worse.</p>
<p>We never go outside unless you’re in PE or whatever. I like fresh air.</p>
<p>Too conservative, but that’s more reflective of my area than my classmates. Not enough diversity.</p>
<p>I do not have a lot of complaints.</p>
<p>1)We’re dirt poor, but the principal is filthy rich. (Im talking two houses, multiple degrees)</p>
<p>2)Population is 94% black = many, many, MANY ghetto girls.</p>
<p>3)Hardly any APs were offered until this year.</p>
<p>4) We have to share a bus with our wealthier (they got a new school building this year), smarter (talking top 10 public in US), and all around better neighbor high school.</p>
<p>5)School was extremely tiny, we got our neighbor’s old building this year.</p>
<p>6)Really really ****ty food and rude, ugly, and inmate (tattoos all over) cafeteria ladies</p>
<p>7)Our old building was really terrible. Once, the plumbing got backed up and they let us out of school early. Another time, the power and air conditioning went out for a week (and we still had to go to school LOL)</p>
<p>8)Principal can do w/e the **** she wants since we’re a charter school.
8b)Principal is a little gremlin ■■■■■ with a mustache</p>
<p>9)Library, by extension, is small and hardly has books.</p>
<p>10)etc</p>
<p>Yeah. n_____________n</p>
<p>The building is basically falling apart, so in some of the classes, the teachers have to tell us to run outside and to the other side of the hallway instead of getting under our desks because it’s safer. And we’re in an area that has a chance of getting a really huge earthquake, which would make half the building fall off. And the ceiling is cracked in every room. And the heating hardly works in most of the rooms. It’s a “California-style” school in the Pacific Northwest, so we have a ton of courtyards you have to go through to get to class, which would be fine if we were in California. Instead, we get to trudge through rain to get to our classes.</p>
<p>They also got rid of AP Gov for the seniors, and we’re forced to take Citizenship instead, which is the biggest joke of a class ever. But they managed to create a brand new AP World class for younger grades.</p>
<p>There are almost no honors classes.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t weight grades, which I wouldn’t mind if that didn’t mean one of the dumbest girls I know is going to be one of the valedictorians.</p>
<p>School is also starting later the year after I graduate.</p>
<p>We have to set up buckets throughout the hallways when it rains because the ceiling tiles leak and sometimes fall out of the ceiling.</p>
<p>When it rains really early in the morning worms fill up the entire 5th wing hallway.</p>
<p>The fact that I am currently 1 of 18 (yes that is correct 18) valedictorians in a class of 135.</p>
<p>More than half of my school is drunk on any give Friday night. And a drinking ticket only gives the kid a one or two game suspension when everywhere else it is an entire season.</p>
<p>Only one AP class and no one takes it because no one has gotten a 5 in years (possibly ever) because the teacher doesn’t prepare you for the exam.</p>
<p>My classes aren’t preparing me for a top tier college at all. I didn’t have a grade lower than a 95% on any given assignment test or exam for the entire 2nd quarter. I would like to be challenged a little more.</p>
<p>Religion classes that turn kids against each other.</p>
<p>It is in a tiny town that no one cares about.</p>
<p>Other than all of these things I really like my school.</p>
<p>The lack of walls doesn’t help an ADD mind like mine.</p>
<p>You’re allowed to take 3 AP courses. There are no honors classes.</p>
<p>We have no gym. We have no cafeteria (we get lunches wheeled in from a community college). We don’t have our own busses. </p>
<p>We don’t have a band, an orchestra, or an active math team.</p>
<p>We have a plasma screen TV in every room that hasn’t been used for months.</p>
<p>Smart kids + insane grade inflation gives everybody a 4.0. =|</p>
<p>6 students related to my school have died in the past 2 years</p>
<p>All of these stories are making me feel WAY overprivileged.</p>
<p>We don’t offer AP Physics, AP Macro or Micro</p>
<p>Stupid art graduation requirements</p>
<p>Inability to control school dances</p>
<p>Illogical prerequisites, and no (easy) way around them</p>
<p>About 2700 people in a school built for ~1000…</p>
<p>Ridiculous "elect"ives required for graduation. Three PEs, two healths, an art, a comsci, a career education course, and grad project add up to a total of 9 classes, six credits (out of 29 total available) which are distributed throughout the student’s high school career in such a way that they get in the way of higher level courses like APs. And we are in the middle of a never-ending dispute between the teacher’s union and school board, which means fewer, even worse extra-curriculars, no new clubs unless you can find a non-teacher advisor (many of the few willing advisors now advise several clubs each), and I hear some teachers won’t give recommendations.</p>
<p>Peanuts compared with some of the other complaints, but its course selection time at my school so its been on my mind.</p>
<p>A. There’s only 150 students in the high school.
B. They all walk around like models from an issue of Vogue.
C. We have this stupid dress code that outlaws flip-flops and t-shirts.
D. The tuition is $15,000 per year.
E. They don’t think anything about charging $5 here or $5 there.
F. We don’t have a football team.
G. Trips to places like Disney World are $2000 for one person when my entire family could go (and is going) for less than $1000.
H. They’re opening up the new high school building in August. Right after I graduate.
I. The school has been under construction all four years of high school.
J. They don’t put any funding into Band, Field Hockey, or Cheerleading… The things that I actually care about. (They actually axed Hockey.)</p>
<p>I already graduated, but I’ll chime in anyway.</p>
<p>3 AP classes. Only one for which the test is offered.</p>
<p>I am the only one to score above a 1 on the AP Calculus test in the past 3 years.</p>
<p>The AP classes are taken by people with IQs below 75. Seriously.</p>
<p>Electives are: Spanish, Study Hall, Art, and Drafting. That’s it.</p>
<p>If a class literally makes you want to shoot yourself because it’s so easy, too bad; there are no alternatives.</p>
<p>There is no school lunch. You have to bring your own.</p>
<p>There’s a very nice gymnasium which no one is allowed to use without a teacher present, which is basically never. Basketball practices were pretty much the only time, and even then you couldn’t show up early to shoot or stay late.</p>
<p>There are no dances. This one isn’t really a big deal because school dances suck, but still.</p>
<p>No shorts.</p>
<p>No free periods.</p>
<p>No off campus lunch until senior year.</p>
<p>No way to leave before 3:30. Even if you don’t have class.</p>
<p>Every good teacher quits because of how much it sucks.</p>
<p>I’m sure there’s more, but that’s all I’ve got for now.</p>
