Navigating into the stadium was easy but locating the restrooms were not. Thankfully, I found the women's restroom before disaster struck. lol The restrooms were nice and clean.

No art and no music and no computers or computer skills offered.. Teachers are held to no standard and are without and/or holding only a minimum certification required by law to teach and they do not care. In 8th grade, she had a pregnant teacher talk daily to entire class about all the miscarriages she had and the multiple husbands too. My daughter was instructed and/or manipulat to read "like a mentor" and help other students learn like a tutor consistently because teachers were too lazy to teach. My daughter was all As and when we moved schools. she had to play "catch up" as she learned nothing at this crappy school. IThe school should shut down. Kids are graduating with good grades and are learning nothing. The head of school should be ashamed of herself. She is the head of the snake and doesn't care about any of the kids. Only herself. Ask the school.how many students register and leave within a 2 year period. I believe everyone that came from.different environments (there were three of us for 7th grade) and went to this school left within 18 months. This place is a filthy dump.

My child has been a student at this school since kindergarten age 5 and is now 12 years old. This…read moreschool is GREAT!! Hand down!! This is the first review that I have ever written in my life about anything. It breaks my heart from the last review I read and I cannot look away without writing something. From the school, kids, teaching staff I have NEVER had any bad experiences and the love of Christ is definitely in this place. The kids are taught to love each other as the Bible teaches us to love. The staff loves the kids and respect them as though they love their own. Besides from the administrator down to the teaches ALL of their kids goes to school there as well. So if a school was this horrible and you're on the staff, and your colleagues and the environment was this toxic, would you let your child go there? Point given!!! So regardless of personal issues and I do pray for the individual that have inner issues that are not school related, but lets be fair and give honest reviews because there are others out there that needs the honest truth in helping them make the decision of a school choice for their child the same way someone helped us. Glad I made the choice years ago. The school is GREAT!!! This is Fact!!

If you were black in the early 2000s it was not the place for you. How they treated my brother vs other white boys left a lasting stain on his future. From the glorifying of the confederacy in social studios, to the geometry teacher who repeatedly belittled me, overly intense sports programs especially soccer, students being allowed to openly blurt out how they treat black people in restaurants, this place truly lived up to the Birmingham stereotype. I still recall my lunch table had the black kids, 2 Jewish kids and one Asian girl. I still can't forgive my parents for that god awful experience.

As band parents, our only motivation to go to the games is halftime but that's just not possible at Hoover.
