We have had a handful of bad teachers in my time there. I have been a student since 2nd grade. Sadly, I can say that I was happy to see some teachers leave. Some teachers are outstanding. (Most are ELA teachers and like 2 math teachers). The school is in a hazardous area, a couple of days ago there was a shooting in front of the school playground, and in my experience, there were two shootings around the school. The academics are great as I am an 8th grader and am learning math that sophomores in high school are doing which helps prepare us for high school. Other than that there isn't much good about the school. Most classes like to think their life is a movie and constantly create drama. You will have a basic life. I have had lots of experiences with my friends but I see that as just my class I believe I got lucky with the people around me but other than that, nothing special. Thank you for reading. Also, the administration is bad and in my experience bias.
School 28 is a pretty okay school when it comes to education. The only problem is the teachers who are assigned to subjects. Specifically social studies and science teachers. When it comes to social studies and science you mostly are just taking the class to get a grade. Some teachers do good, some don't. For example, two teachers who I will not name didn't care about really teaching us or what they taught. For example, one would give us slides, and tell us to work on them, and that's the whole lesson. The other had us learn about Mansa Musa for 3 marking periods. When it was time for us to take the end-of-year assessment we knew nothing about the test. They had to give us the option to use google so we take the test. I did so bad on it that it dropped my grade down to 79 making me miss the honor roll. To get to the point, the schools are ok and the students are fine, my only problem is the teachers and how some of them teach.
I am currently a 7th grader at School 28 and have been a student since 4th grade. Me being at the same school with most of the same classmates for that long makes me so sad that I have to leave it after 8th grade. I've made some great memories there and have friends that I consider family. Our whole class is basically one big family. School 28 is a school for "gifted" kids so our school obviously has pretty good academics and you need to have good grades every year, but it's pretty easy if you do your work and pay attention. However, you will probably be behind in history once you go to high school because our social studies teacher is really bad at her job and barely teaches us basic history. We also have a Science Olympiad team, National Junior Honors Society, and a National History Day competition as well. However, my experience might not be like yours but I definitely recommend you to go to School 28.
