I went there from 1996-2000 The bad things about the school when I was going there: 1. The Science…read moreProgram 2. The policy for bullying not only in private but also in the open in front of teachers 3. Lack of awards to students (they need more awards to be given) 4. Lack of the arts, especially in TV/Film 5. Extra help/extra credit options in all classes 6. Selective theatre guild (same students get cast, harder for newbies to get cast) Improving these 5 areas can definitely increase students love for the school. 1. The Science Program did NOT challenge me. Freshman Bio was hard, and it was because I was stuck with the hardest teacher, Mr. Jowett. I won Science Fairs in middle school and even on my first day answered "What is biology?" when nobody would answer the question. Sad to say I failed the entire year. Mr. Jowett was scary, his class looked scary and dark, and he scared a lot of kids, also his tests would strictly be on the reading from the book and NOT from what we went over in class. I was openly made fun of in his class by jocks/sports players who would goof off, and he'd think of me as dumb and place me sitting last all year. Nice, huh? I went from a "B" student in science who won places in Science fairs to an "F" student. Mr. Jowett should only be required to teach HONORS classes only. My Sophomore teacher, Mr. Benedetto was awesome, he actually gave his students projects which is what Jowett NEVER did. Benedetto, however, favors the women and sportsplayers though he is totally awesome. I remember busting my butt off in easy quarters and always ending up with C's. He is very tough to get above C+ if you're not a girl or sportsplayer and just some average guy who'd go overboard on projects like I was. He does get hard in some quarters you take him (I even got a D in one quarter and failed him the next quarter when I was a senior for Marine Bio, then got C's in the end), but he's very easy to talk to and knows how to teach Science unlike Mr. Jowett. Benedetto should teach level 2 bio to all Freshmen, Jowett, honors. He has the most clout of all the teachers there to be Freshman Bio teacher and Freshmen would love this guy. He has a lot of energy and he's not scary. However, I noticed a trend with my other 2 Science teachers other than Jowett...if you were a girl or sports player you'd get an A/B even if you didn't do a lot of work. 2. Bullying went on in front of teachers. They heard it. Some teachers didn't like it, but I never really reported it as being threatening. Today, teacher's need to stop that. I got bullied all Sophomore year/Junior year by this one guy in public, teacher's saw it, and I almost got explelled because of him when he targeted me because of what happened in Columbine. In the end, teacher's knew I wasn't like the way he described me as and knew he was a menace to me and it was all resolved, but would have been resolved sooner had they stopped the guy from being a wise-guy. 3. The school is VERY tough. I never once made the honor roll. I look back and feel bad I couldn't get it once. I came close only one quarter, but with a 2.7, it hurt how that was my highest average I had in all 4 years in any quarter, my first of Sophomore year, all the others I had 2.1 or 2.0 because of my constant " C+or below" grades in Math or a mix of them in 4 out of 6 subjects each quarter. But a lot of students would complain when they would miss the honor roll. Central should change their policy on honors and make it ANY GRADES ONE GETS (like colleges do) but 3.0-3.2=Honors, 3.3-3.5 =High, 3.6-4.0=Distinguished. As long as they MEET the 3.0 or above they can place on it. Also, if a student gets 2.7-2.9 (thats a B- average in many colleges), they should be given "Honorable Mention Awards", this way, more students will be rewarded for above average quarterly averages, even if not on the honor roll. Plus, they should give special awards. For example, they should do science fairs. We never had ONE. They should give awards to students in subject areas who get A-/A grades all year, not just to the highest student. More students will be recognized this way. They should do some sort of "student of the month" in each homeroom class, where 1 student each month gets selected based on a lot of factors and NOT just grades. 4. They need to have classes that focus on Screenwriting, Film production, et. Afterschool clubs even. 5. All teachers meeting once a week for extra help for any students with below "C+" grades in their 6. Theatre guild organized fairly. No favoritism. Same students made the plays. Auditions in fall of 1996 were poorly done. Same students year after year. One girl, she was such a drama queen and thought she was a great actress when she was mediocre and low, being cast in everything. She even mouthed off to my drama teacher and didn't get dropped.

The homework load is…read morewaaaaay to much (at least in the honors classes), and that causes social lives to deteriorate. Yes your son will learn more than he needs to know, but without a doubt it comes at a price (not to mention $16,000). I hate the administration. They just are not very good. For instance, today they fired a teacher who was probably the best in the entire school. It was ugly and it occured in the middle of the school year. I consider that disgraceful. The athletics are top notch, and so if your son is an athlete you might consider St. John's. Overall, I would've given three stars, but after today's disgraceful and ugly firing, I have to give only two. It just reinforces my previous belief that the adminstration is incompetent. Not to mention many of the teachers are absolutely horrible to their students, (i.e. teachers giving kids the finger, calling them names, etc.) My youngest son will not be attending.

Lawrence High School in Lawrence, MA is run by a few apparently corrupt administrators who squeeze…read morethe life out of external collaborators and partners, while using them to make their reputation and stats better. They are insincere backstabbers who are not sensitive to the needs of the students, and in particular, to the students who are not the majority race at the school. Asian students, for example, were very upset last year at their treatment, but the school principal (Caraballo-Anderson) is a "my way or the highway" guy. Not a nice man or a good leader in general. Smiles in your face, talks about teamwork, but sabotages you in nasty ways behind your back. Other admins are beholden to him or a few other leaders, which makes the system difficult to navigate. They are not open to new ideas. They like to operate on a chummy, political basis, which is a detrimental dynamic for new services and programs. This could be a good school, but it is not going to thrive under current leadership.

Solomon came to help my daughter Chloe, an A+ student, as she struggled during her high school…read moresenior year with AP Calc and AP Physics. These courses were the toughest in the school and caused great stress to a student who had typically done very well in both math and science throughout her school years. Solomon tutored Chloe through the basics of both courses with both a deep understanding of these two subjects as well as his ability to communicate concepts clearly. This was especially important for Physics as it had become obvious to all of us that Chloe's teacher possessed very poor teaching and communication skills. Thus Solomon had to function as Chloe's actual Physics TEACHER as well as her tutor. His demeanor was hugely valuable too as his fine sense of humor and personally-supportive nature transformed the atmosphere of the process into one that was positive and confidence-building. This greatly alleviated much of Chloe's coursework anxiety. In the end, the results spoke for themselves: Chloe's initial C-range grades rose to A-minuses in both courses within one semester, undoubtedly contributing to her eventual college acceptance by Columbia and five other top schools, plus waitlists at Harvard, Yale and Swarthmore. Without Solomon's involvement, I am certain such happy outcomes would not have occurred.
