I would say the students are generally the biggest problem in the school district as a whole. Though, the academics are exceptional, the college preparation is excellent, the extracurriculars are excellent, the culture and school spirit is excellent, the teachers are somewhat good, there is a lack of parent involvement in the students performance. It may not be the school district that has to take the blame and responsibility but, it is likely just the way the students are raised in poor household conditions and improper parenting that is the root cause of it.
I would like for Milwaukee schools educational system get better. I'm a current graduate of Bradley Tech High school. Which I attended my 4 years. From my experience, The education system in this school is honestly the worst. In this school they don't prepare student for college or life. This school is so toxic and corrupted by violence it made it almost impossible to pay attention in class. I had a great French teacher that left the school because she was confronted my three girls in the bathroom. These girl beat her up, because she gave them a grade they deserved. Kids disrespecting school officials became a norm. Sad right? Many students hate their school lunch but in this high school that couldn't be more true. The lunch is so bad that teacher have stood against some lunches that students eat. Am I impressed with the Milwaukee school district? Absolutely not! These kids deserved so much more. We need to make a change. Be better, do better.
Milwaukee School District has good resources for students and amazing teachers who are always willing to help and advocate for their students. They have an amazing community where students can participate in activities and socialize. However, I wish that I could see some changes safety wise. Having metal detectors are helpful and bring safety to the schools, it is just that it makes students sometimes feel like they’re criminals. I think that there is a way to bring safety to the school while also making the students feel safe as well.
