Eminence Junior/Senior High School

Both of my kids have excelled at this school. While the school is small and does not have all of the extra sports and the government funding that the larger schools have the students can receive more one-on-one. They do not have the fear of being left behind like in the larger schools. I graduated from a larger school and did not receive the extra attention therefore I wouldn't remove my kids from Eminence and put them through that.

Eminence lacks the funding necessary to be a good school. Technology deprivation is definite. The biggest problem, however, is the students who are 'left behind'. Because Eminence is such a small school we stay on a slow pace in order to ensure a full understanding by a large majority of the students. Although this may seem like a good way to learn, the 'gifted' or very successful students are often out of luck. This small school with very little funding leaves little room to refine those skills. There are very little honors programs in this school, leaving the 'faster students', so to speak, entirely bored in their senior English class learning the difference between in a noun and an adjective.

This school is lacking in all areas. Worst teachers, staff, administration. This school HAD the potential to be the best. The student/teacher ratio is perfect, however, the school fails to deliver. My child is falling behind. My child used to be an B/C student. Now, my child is a D/F. The teaching quality is poor. I cannot tell the difference between the students and the staff. Very unprofessional. I see why they are on acidemic probation. We are moving to a grade A school district and hopefully we can undo the damage this school has done to my child. The DOE should do this community a favor and CLOSE THE DOORS to this school.
