First of all, I could sum Northrop up in three words: Rude, Wasteful, and Hypocritical. I say rude because 80% of the workers have no manners what so ever. If you ask to borrow a pen, you will get snarled at. If you greet a teacher with ‘Hey.’, they will scold you. It is wasteful with money. Why didn’t they spend the money buying themselves a bear and flat screen televisions for air conditioning? Hypocritical because they will tell you to do one thing, and then do it the same them selves. Why is my gym teacher wearing heels? Why is my tear wearing tank tops? I don’t think it’s bad, but if they can do it, I feel like I should be able to also. The guidance staff are bad. There was a group of teenagers bullying and pushing around people in the main hallway and the guy, who was supposed to be a guidance, just stood there! Too much of a sissy. I do not feel safe or happy when I go to this school everyday. The students have no manners.
The only positive thing I have to say about this morbid school is Mr. Ratliff. He is the only worker that can teach students to do the right thing. He knew what was far and what wasn’t. He was flexible and always got things done.
I am awfully glad to hear this school had gotten rid of Kevin Simmons as principal and replaced him with someone competent. Simmons was a joke. He had ruined the school careers of more than a few students. He threatened students. He was basically a man-child. However, the childish behavior did not end with him. Almost the entire staff at the office seemed to be people they picked off the streets! They were rude, hung up on me more than a few times, threatened one of my friend’s and called her stupid, would not help students with personal or school related issues. Where did this school get people like this?? Hell? Mrs. Gonzalez should also not be there. She was just like Mr. Simmons in his incompetence and often aided him in all the awful things he did to the students and teachers!! I think about eight or nine of the teachers I personally knew there quit because of Simmons, by the way. It was FWCS’s fault for hiring these type of degenerates.
I am not going to point fingers, and I do not want this review to affect how my future year at Northrop is going to go, but from what I have heard from my parents, brother, and friends, it sounds awful! My brother didn’t get to go to prom for this unbelievable reason. He had mononucleosis for a couple weeks, and got 1 doctor’s note to cover the whole 2 weeks. They said it wasn’t enough. My parents called the school and talked to them and it got solved, but he still didn’t get to go to his Junior prom. I have begged my parents to let me go to Snider, or South Side, but it just doesn’t look like it will work out. I am dreadful, and I am worried of what is to come for my 4 years. Northrop has to be the worst high school in FWCS and I hope they can resolve the problems that need to be resolved.
