From my experience, this school district was not as great as it seems. Every school in this district had at least one large problem, whether it be the staff was not great, the students were troubled or anywhere in between. My school, STEM High School, specifically was terrible. The teachers barely teached and when they did they used YouTube or packets made from other teachers. However, I know of other schools in the district that taught well, like Firestone. Firestone not only taught well but they offered so many different programs for their students to enjoy. Unlike Firestone, my school didn't even offer sports. Maybe my experience with this district is bad because of the school I chose, but I still wouldn't recommend this district to anyone, unless if they were going to Firestone.
It is decent but I think our schools need more funding. Make our environment less prejudice because for some reason certain things are a issue and address men for showing shoulders too not just females. Try to provide more mental health sources, a lot of us probably need a source and not all of us may want to see a school counselor. This message is directed specifically to my school, Stem High. Our school is decent but there are non academic issues that need to be addressed. A doo rag does not symbolize gang violence nor is it a hat. It is something students use to style their hair.
The teachers were incredibly supportive of my career choice. I was in a program with First Energy to have employment immediately after graduation but COVID changed that. I enrolled at the University of Akron and decided to pursue Marketing and my high school teachers supported that decision. They even helped me find part-time employment until college classes started.
