I'm behind on work and they aren't even trying to help me. This school only helps the best students and leave the others behind.

This is terrible school to teach. Nobody cares abour anything. One day, I went to one the school counseler to speak to her about some students' behavior. While I was expressing my concerns, she was checking her facebook on her smartphone and checking personal emails. I did not contact her anymore for any reason. That was terrible.

Teacher workload is a way too much. (6 classes/one planning period)
Excessive class observations. Sometimes right after a long break.
The grading policy (60% minimum for students who do not do any work) is unfair for the students who really work hard in class. The school has too many slackers in it. They just come to class to play video games and socialize.
Too much disruptions during teaching time, phone calls, students walk-ins etc.

This is my junior year in highschool. Swansea is a very nasty school and they dont hardly clean. Some of the teachers act like they dont care about our education. We went threw 4 math teachers until the found one to stay. They will supply the freshman and sophmores with chromebooks (but not the juniors and seniors) and worry about sports when the roof despertly needs to be redone. Last year we couldent go in the gym because there were rats and they were all over the school.
