If I were to be a mentor to another student, and I had to tell them about our school, I would gladly tell about all the great things this school has accomplished, and successfully completed. When Seckman Senior High School was first built, it didn't even have a senior class, and the junior class only had 700 students. Now the school is booming and the attendance all around is high. Now that's not to say that there aren't a few students who ruin it for the rest, but for the most part the school is doing very well, and it hardly ever has to depends on the district, for help. Seckman is known for being a "rich" public school, with kids who do not have to pay for anything, including and not limited to their clothes, gas, insurance, daily necessities, food, extras, party money, nothing, their parents give them everything.
For the most part the other schools are right, Seckman has more money, and time to waste on non-important things. This school district expects every one to be rich and be able to keep up with the snobs and rich brats. If you want to survive, you have to have parents who don't care, money, and a place to "waste" your money, then you'll be popular. Not to leave out the teachers, who think they are god's and they are the only class you have for the rest of your life. They hand out homework like it's candy and expect you to stop your extremely busy life to work on their homework, of which does you no good in the end and just ends up dropping your GPA, even lower. Real problem is, this is true in every teachers room.
What do you expect from a school that's built on money instead of education. But over all this is a good 6A school district.

For seven consecutive years, the state of South Carolina rated the school as At-Risk, bringing in specialists in English, Math, and Science to help turn the school around. The test scores were in the bottom 5% in the state and less than 50% of the students who started Carolina High graduated with their 9th grade cohort. The teacher turnover rate was high, where 15 to 20% of the teachers left after each school year ended. The focus of the school was more centered on discipline and to keep the students in the classroom rather than curriculum and instruction and learning. Reactive approaches to education were employed rather than proactive. Because of the challenges the school faced, finding teachers became very difficult and less than quality teachers were sent to the school from other schools just so there was a warm body in the classroom. The expectations of the teachers was to keep the students in the classroom and do work, lacking an emphasis on the quality…

Welcome to the world of Jenks Public Schools (JPS), a world where high achievement, an outstanding athletics program, and multitudinous opportunities for involvement in extracurricular activities abound! It is a world in which high test scores and national awards are the norm rather than the exception, and yet never taken for granted. An important goal of Jenks Public Schools is to identify and provide appropriate educational experiences for those students who give evidence of high performance capability in the area of intelligence or in high school academics and who require differentiated learning opportunities or experiences, provided by the school, that develop such capabilities. There are thirty-five private/nonprofit schools in the Tulsa area. There are three private schools within the JPS attendance area. Over the past three years there has been an average of 177 open transfer requests from families in other school districts to enroll in JPS. Conversely, during the past two years there has been an average of 30 open transfer requests from JPS families to enroll in other districts. This is a testimony to the high expectations for teaching and learning in the District. Because of the desire on the part of parents to enroll their students in JPS, homes sell for premium prices within the District’s boundaries. Base on housing starts and the average cost of homes. The net gain of the total district enrollment has increased by 823 students over the past 10 years, from 8448 students in 1994 to 9271 students in 2004.

In the Chicagoland area in Illinois, these questions are visible to everyone who lives there. I went to a private high school in the suburb Lombard named, Montini Catholic. To attend this school you had to pay around $11,000 a year. Because of that price stamped on the school, some people are deterred away. My school was very generous and used money that it received to help students that were struggling to pay their tuition. When I graduated, Montini had received turf for their football field, IPads for the students to use in class, a new gym floor, new baseball field, and a brand new parking lot. But where did all this money come from? Well the wealthier families who attended my school were very generous and helped fund these projects. My school has clubs, sports, and great academics that the students participate in and receive great opportunities from. Some may think that’s a private school, what about the public schools? There a many public schools in my hometown area, and they have significantly more money than the private school I went to has. For example, the school Naperville Central that is located 5 miles away from my house. Everything at their school is up to date in technology and are always doing renovations on the school to make it bigger and better. The only…

analyzed in this paper will be Freedom High School in Oakley, California. Freedom is a comprehensive high school of slightly over 2600 students, grades nine through twelve. Freedom has a diverse student body including a significant population of EL, SPED, and Title 1 students. The district was put into program improvement eight years ago and since that time scores on the state and district assessments have undergone a substantial and continual climb, particularly in science. The budget crisis caused the district to issue lay-off notices and freeze raises and COLA increases. Prior to the 2007, the district was the third highest paying district in Northern California. The LEA (Liberty Educational Association) is well represented and very vocal group in this district and fought hard for teacher’s rights, benefits, and working conditions. In 2009, Freedom was named a California Distinguished school and in 2010 received a six year WASC evaluation. Despite budget constraints the community has approved several Bond issues for physical improvements to the school facilities including a four million dollar athletic facility and substantial improvements to the library, both of which Freedom shares with the community. Freedom is the center of the community and is rarely with out people using the facilities.…

When I was attending Central City Value High I was doing good until the ending of junior year. In my previous school the campus was really small and the teachers were always constly telling the students to do their homeowork or they would have to stay after school and also if their grade went down to a D or F. In my previous school we had to wear uniforms. The classes I took were hard and some were easy, my favorite classes were art class and music history. I kearned how music started and were it came from and also how to express my feelings through art. I would play basket ball afterschool but I didn't join any sport.

In the 10th grade, I moved to Florida. The school was way bigger and in some points, better than the school I just recently graduated from.
