I rated Bloom Trail as unsatisfactory due to the FACT that the faculty/staff put more effort into disciplining the students than educating them. They keep the children out of classes by placing them in in-school suspension and out-of-school suspension for the smallest infraction, i.e. wearing a very thin jacket in the cold building during winter. I've noticed that when the kids try to defend themselves for a write-up by a teacher that they felt was unjust, the deans give them a harsher punishment. The teachers and deans are very disrespectful to both the parents and the students. They, like most other high schools and even elementary schools are teaching the kids backwards. When my son asked the teacher about why he got an answer wrong (according to the computer) when he could prove it was right, the teacher said "I know, it's just the way it is." They are preparing the children for prison not college. That school is a mess from the faculty/staff to the interior of the building. Look at the moldy ceiling, the very old and broken lockers, no air in the summer, and no heat in the winter. Nothing about that school is condusive to learning.

My children have had the good fortune of meeting many wonderful, inspirational, involved teachers and coaches. People who've given so much of themselves to the school, the district and the community.

My daughter just graduated from there with honors and in the National Honor Society. You get out of this school (or any) exactly what you put into it. Judge Mathis attend school in Englewood and look where he is. There is nothing wrong with this school and I would recommend sending your child there.

A blog by nature is public territory. If you don't want something to be public knowledge, don't post it on the internet.

Privacy stops when you BLOG. If you want to keep things private - then write in a diary and not on the Internet expecting some kind of privacy.
