I'm currently attending this school and it's alright... its kind've boring and it lacks a lot of things. For example, a football stadium, clubs, elective classes, and FUN teachers. I swear every time I'm in a boring class i want to fall asleep. The teachers aren't thorough enough. Also the staff isnt all that great either, i can't give an exact reason why but i always get a bad vibe from them. If i could leave this school i would in a heartbeat.
My child is in 10th grade at Patriot and I'm more than satisfied with her edcuation. She's had outstanding teachers and a great counselor. She has a excellent grades and is involved in many acitivities. My daughter is taking one AP class this year but has many more to choose from the next two years. She has challenging homework and has learned a lot as her state test scores are advanced. Patriot is a great school!
Administrators and teachers are not interested in students that want to excel. They are more concerned about perfect attendance and getting government money. If a student has perfect attendance and earns a C, they are rewarded. A student that maintains a high GPA receives no rewards or incentives. The math program is horrible with inadequate teaching staff. No help is provided to students that want to utilize it. Most students in my child's math class were failing. Just how many students need to fail before someone looks into the problem? When parents take an interest, they are made to feel like a bother. I recommend home schooling before sending a student to this school.
The upper level staff is to concerned in playing politics and not educating students. The ONLY school to have an A,B,C, F grading scale in Math to my knowledge. If you student has a 69%, guess what they FAIL the math class. Why? Who knows. The school has a BAD underlying Drug Problem, but the public doesn't see it, so they don't take the steps necessary to stop it. Teachers to "Don't Play" the politics are often suspended in an effort to prove a point. We have 1 graduating senior and more in the school, and if we could remove them, we would. If your kid is into athletics or cheer its great. They support the "PUBLIC" perception, not what the kids need.
I am currently a Junior at this school and am absolutely loving it. I recently moved to another city 30 miles away and have been traveling the distance just to stay at this school. I have been reviewing the high school's in my area and nothing seems to interest me. They do not seem as fulfilling as Patriot is. I am satisfied with the teachers and academics, the school is very very safe, sports are excellent, and diversity in interests and races of the students is huge. Highly suggest you send your kids to attend!
The school needs swimming pool, football field more elective classes and more teachers that don't just pop in a movie for their classes, to at least challenge kids.....
although, i have to complain that if the designers put more thought into what the school needed (a swimming pool, more space for field stands, a better theater, and fundings to give the clubs a better start) it would seem so lacking. other than that the teachers are nice and the faculty does their job right, the cafeteria is very clean and nice to look at, the library is very big, the gym is nice, and the classrooms are adequate; all in all, everything is new, and nice for a first year!
I absolutely love this school! This year was my freshman year and I had so much fun! There are a lot of activities and helpful staff. All our team sports are amazing. We have won many competition and the vibe here is awesome! Everyone has such high spirit and support for our school! Our Choirs are the best of the best! We are a new school and so far its been the best!
