Ross Beatty High School

As a graduate of the cassoplis system and a parent of and elementry student I belive it allows children to grow in a back ground of differnt people of color and ethnic background. Because the world is a blank canvis and your child has the ability to paint it as they wish to do.

The high school is all right for the most part. We don't have very many choices for classes though. Also when it comes to the decisions, this school could do better. They make stupid decisions about everything. Most of the students think our school is poor, but we are not actually all that poor. The school board would rather waste our money on stupid thing then use it where it's needed. For example, the school board buys new flat screen televisions for school use, but classes rarely use them. Instead the library keeps them there where they are not often used. Also instead of using the money to buy those televisions they could have allowed a glee club or tried to create programs that would make students actually want to be there. I wouldn t want to leave if there was something worthwhile being there for.

I am an alumni for this school. I went there from kindergarten through graduation. Ever since I was in the 7th grade, when you move up from the middle school, I wanted to leave. The teachers are pretty good, but its the administration who needs to be changed.

If the Board would stop making all of their decisions, based on what the rich people in town think, it would be a better school. No wonder Cassopolis keeps shrinking, everyone's trying to GET OUT!

Its ok, the teachers are fine and everything. The prinicpal in the other hand really needs to get his issues straightened out.(sorry hate being mean)I think it would be even better if the semester and school scedule were not always changing. Most of the students feel like what they are saying is not getting through to the board of education or anything. Some of us are trying to pass with certian amount of credits if and when they change the year to 6 classes the full year, it will not help these students. It will push us back and most of us want to graduate on time. Other then that I dont see too much problems.

Ross Beatty eduaction system is okay. Our principal, hes okay but there are times when he does do the stupidest things(sorry thats mean but true). The new dean of students hes okay too. But i rather have mr.anderson. The best teacher there are Mrs. Sanderson,Mr.Z,Hubb,Purlee & Mr.Brown. Mrs. McCully is cool too. Other than that Ross Beatty is an okay school. Its not the best since most of the kids want to leave, like me. The only good thing is our 2 hour delays every wednesday!! Ross Beatty comes up with new dumb rules every year. Other than that cass schools is okay.

I was currently enrolled in this school. I went to Cassopolis public schools from grade kindergarten on up through tenth grade. I now live in Mississippi, and it has made me realize how great Cassopolis really is. I spent my whole life there wishing I could leave. Now all I wish for is to be able to go back. It really is a great place to grow up. Stephanie Thompson

Ross Beatty's education system is absolutly terrible! The prinicble has no clue what he is doing, he isn't getting anything done, and the dean of students also doesn't get anything done and screws up the system. Cass doesnt care about your childs education! If you want proof, look how many students left that school because of it!

I can see things getting better under a principle that really cares about the school and its community.
