Went to school here from like '04 to '07.
Endured 3 years of bullying and harassment from fellow students.
Developed a self harm problem and when the school counselor found out they didn't even call my parents. Just made me promise not to do it again and scheduled me for regular meetings with the school counselor. I went to two and they never spoke of it again. Not even after the 2nd time they found out about it.
A good percentage of the teachers here at the time were rude and unapproachable, but given the asshole kids they dealt with every day it's a wonder more of them didn't shove students into walls like the ISS teacher Mr. Wolf.
There were regular "gang related" fights that would spill out into the main road. Cops were posted up fairly often.
I don't know what it's like currently, but given that this is Albuquerque and no one here raises their children right, I'm willing to bet it's pretty much the same. read more
