Honestly kinda trash, as a student currently enrolled in NHS (Newberg High school), the entire system is very authoritarian, the teachers are underpaid (some of them just hate their students, like Judy Brown). In the 11 years that I have been enrolled, there have been 1 bomb threat on an elementary school (I was in 3rd grade) and 2 shooting threats on the mountain view middle school (both while I was enrolled there). The faculty is sub par, the depression rates of students is at an all time high. The school lunch at the high-school Is so bad that I would honestly just prefer prison food, on 2 occasions last week the 'chicken' in my friend's sandwich was raw. As someone who works in the food industry, the sanitary conditions in that kitchen are sub par and the staff handling the food barely use any PPE. The people in the district office (save for Brittany Morales and Holly Miele, they are amazing) are so extremely biased, bigoted, racist, and homophobic that they actually managed to get on national TV because they banned BLM and pride flags in the schools (this has since changed because of extreme backlash). So, in conclusion, coming from a student who has suffered through this district for his whole life, it is a living hell. Honestly, the whole USA school system is a living hell. Oh, also, before I forget, the district received $11 million from the state because of Covid. instead of raising wages or fixing the bathrooms where entire doors have been ripped off and mirrors broken, or improving the food that they are feeding the children that they are supposed to be taking care of for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, they decided to build 4 fancy new buildings so they can cram even more kids in here like sardines. Also (this might just be a commentary on school systems in general), but I feel like school shouldn't be painful, like, so many of my friends cry themselves to sleep and only get 4 hours of sleep just so they can have a chance at going to a good college. read more
