"The school is often covered with tobacco the students don't respect the teachers. Also the teachers are often more concerned about the students liking them and not worrying about whether or not the students are actually learning anything. Also trying to get something done about disrespectful students is almost impossible. If I write a student up for using inappropriate language or for not doing their work nothing is done. Although the teachers are not the only ones with issues trying to get children disciplined. Bus drivers are always writing someone up but it seems to be taken as a joke. This is the worst school I have ever seen."
"McDowell High School is a place where every student is important. The staff is always willing to work beyond what is required to make a difference for the students."
