People who say that this school is bad are not telling the full story. I am a junior at this school and I can say that I’ve had my up and downs but high school is what you make of it. In this school, I’ve been able to take advantage of activities such as mock trial, moot court, and debate. Our basketball team is even ranked number 1. Anyone could take advantage of anything that this school has to offer and high school is what you make of it

This school is more concerned with itself and its standing than in the children that attend. If your child is attacked by another student you cannot expect any help from them. You will not be allowed to speak with the principal and they will not seek medical attention for your child. There is a culture of covering their own behinds first, and when your ONLY concern is your child, you will find no empathy or concern with them. Without a complete change of leadership at this school, starting with the principal on down the line, this is just yet another inner city school that just considered themselves as glorified babysitters.

DO NOT send your child to this school STAFF is the worst they DO NOT care about kids my child was injured for the 2nd time no one from the school contacted me at all.I found out thru my child principal would not come and speak to me nor did a nurse contact me and the child that attacked my son was just sent home before i could press charges.so again DO NOT send your child here. send them somewhere they will learn and having a caring staff overseeing them.

I am attending this school this year into 9th grade and i have read all the positive and negative reviews about the school and all I have to say is high school is what you make of it if you choose to make it bad then thats you but if you choose to make it good then your gaining confidence. Confidence builds by courage and educated minds not complaining about the school no school is bad, no teacher is bad, how you treat the school & the teacher thats what makes it bad and if you or teachers and staff does not gain their respect for teaching you 6 hours a day everyday then they are not going to give you any either. Make this school year in fact every school year the best it could be because when life carves up with you and with something you dont know you going to wish you had the best year of your life, high school life matters so make the best of it. 7-19-2016

My daughter has attended this school for 2 years now and it has been 2 years too long. Ive had to report 2 of her teachers just this school year alone. One was for a connections class, the teacher never taught and just allowed the students to come to his class to sleep or mingle with each other. The other teacher would play Drakes CD during class and also had the students do an assignment based on a song about a young girl going to a house party and getting drunk and smoking weed. Theyre cutting the orchestra department next year, P.E. is another sit around class, JROTC is a joke, the girls lacrosse coach didnt have a clue what she was doing, theres nothing challenging for the kids at all. My daughter who has always made straight As now gets a few Bs because they learn from notes and handouts, no books. Yet shes still ranked 4th in her class. so that speaks volumes about what grades the other children are receiving. For the end of grade accumulative math test the teacher stated how hard the test may seem to the kids because he hardly covered word problems and when he did he worded them differently. Nothing like setting expectations low and making classwork easier so you have students who pass your class but cant pass state exams. The teachers dont care and have given up on these kids from my perspective and therefore it reflects in the kids performances and how much they care as well.

I currently attend this school and all the people saying its bad are wrong. The teachers here are there to teach. And this school compared to mays right now is way better. But, to some of us students we think Benjamin E. Mays is a bad word. Funny right? Even though Therrell had/has its flaws. They are the best school I ever went to. :)

I am a senior at this school and i have had the worst high school experience ever. The uniform policy is more important than education to all of the staff here. They will literally send you out of class if you don’t have on the school’s uniform at a PUBLIC school. Students have even gotten suspended for not wearing uniform. They treat the students as if we are in a prison. The cafeteria food is so horrible that most kids don’t even eat it and if we try to order food from UberEATS or a pizza place you will get in trouble, even suspended so i starve myself everyday until i can make it home. We are not allowed to leave the classroom during the first or last 20 minutes of a class period which i think is the dumbest rule ever made. There is no school spirit outside of homecoming week which is just terrible and the administrative team are mostly on a power trip. They think that they can talk to students any kind of way and i have even heard teachers gossiping about students to other teachers which is pathetic as an adult. A lot of students have left the school which has caused many teachers to lose their jobs and I now have two core classes with substitutes in them as a SENIOR . I could go on and on about all the things that’s wrong with this school

Not as bad as I originally thoughtThis school is perfect, except for the food and restroom but its a school, not a restaurant.

I have attended this school for 4 years now, and I can say, from experience that this school has gone down hill since I first began here in 9th grade. During junior year we had the support of wonderful teachers like Sarah Giovino and Tyler Griffin. They truly cared about us and fought for the things we wanted to have in our high school experience. Sadly, after junior year they left. Since the beginning of senior year, our class has been met with nothing but resistance and scorn from the staff and administrators that are supposed to be helping us transition into the next stage in our lives. We have no support in senior activities. We have made multiple inquiries into the senior events that we PAYED for and we have heard nothing but evasions and condescending remarks from administrators and our own principal. This year has been the worst of my high school experience. Without the support and dedicated work of people like our college advisers, Ms. Salimonu and Ms. Washington this year would have been a compete train wreck.

I have attended this school for three years and it has been and outstanding educational experience so far. When I read these comments about the school I attend and plan to graduate from I begin to be offended due to the simple fact that the people that are reporting bad things about the school no only do not or have not attended the highschool and more than likely have not even been to the campus. It is just simply astonishing to me how that works. Therrell is one of the best schools within the APS school district with wonderful teachers and students.
