Alright, I am here to say that I love this school. There are a few teachers that are you know a little too disaplinsive but thats ok and the principle cares for the students so I am most pleased with the way this school is teaching my son. There is alot of educating around here and I am very, very proud.

i go to school at hull daisetta junior high. im in 7th grade. this school needs help. the teachers do not know what they are talking about and we never have homework cause we never do anything. that ordinarily wouldnt have botherd me but, no homework at all, theres got to be somthing wrong with this picture and everyone knows it. im not saying that the elementary and the high school are the same. i thinmk the elementary is actully a really good school. i dont thing ive learnd anything since i left it. no offence to any one who supports this school. i just wanted everyone to know that there needs to be somthing done about the junior high school. some teachers here are excellent. but some isnt enough for me. every school has 1, 2, or even three bad teachers. well we only have 1 or 2 good teachers.

Very unsatisfied with the staff. Although, the principal has done a good job, given the circumstances.
