This school is the worst I've seen in my life. The teachers are incredibly rude and unreasonable, they have no consideration for the students. The bathrooms are horrid and they're always smoking meanwhile security takes a blind eye and does nothing to enforce these rules. Worst of all I have experienced racism and as a African American I have taken total offense to it. The teacher that has committed this horrible act goes by the name of Mr. Maldanado who is a history teacher at Shafter High. I was minding my business' on a school bus going on a school trip when I had been accused of swearing even though I was sitting next to my friend and we haven't said any sort of curse word. After a while I heard people in the back of the bus say racial slurs and when I had brought it up to the teacher that I had took offense to them saying those words nothing was done to stop them. When I was trying to explain myself Mr. Maldanado thought it would be reasonable to have another teacher come threaten me and my friend as he was misinformed by Maldanado, saying that we were cussing the whole time even though there are plenty of witnesses to support me. Eventually after we had made it back to the school, me and my friend had reported the teachers behaviors to the school dean and they said they would call us up to talk about it. But they must've knew that the teachers were in the wrong because we were never called up and they threw us to the side. So if you want your kid to have to ever go through anything like this or potentially worse experiences then go ahead and enroll them to Shafter High. read more
