This have been the best 4 years of my life this school doesnt try to be something they are not we have the best Rotc program in Springfield and the best band in the state and we are happy to be who we are , at least I know I am
This school was horrible when I went, they didnt even know what grade to place me in, so I was put in Sophomore grade, taking Junior classes.The staff was horrid and unfair to students. I skipped one class, ONE time, and the admin called a truant officer on me and the 300 pound psycho screamed and spit in my face (a 90 pound girl) and then shoved me into the temp IDs ladys desk. Later when we tried to press charges, the Principal claimed their security footage for that office was unavailable because the cameras werent on. I heard the Principal tell one of his teachers to throw a 17 year old boy out of school because he wouldnt take off his hat in class. Hes 17, he can take care of himself he said, while I sat in handcuffs because I skipped ONE class. The admin who called the cop on me made me feel bad about being put in Sophomore grade, at 18, and that I should just drop out and get my GED. I would have been a Junior if I stayed in Chicopee. SciTech was FULL of pregnant teenagers and kids smoked pot in the parking lot.
As a student of HSST class of 2017, Ill say this if your looking for an ideal high school and are looking for success and freedom. GO TO Minnechaug, Longmeadow or Private school especially If you have the grades. As I look at it HSST school freedom and the strive for success is destroyed by students who lack discipline and respect either in class or out. For example In my sophomore year much of in class learning was disrupted by students who talked influencing many other students to do so as well and as over the year go by as well as tests students break an honor code trying to cheat and use the students who are working hard like me. Another thing is that if your looking for freedom you wont find it here there are students who ruin the opportunity for students who are trying to get out lunch to go to library or teacher but you have to have a pass. Now wheres the trust between student and school faculties.
Unprofessional teachers that dont listen to their students, and teach so bizarrely that my entire math class failed because nothing our teacher taught us made sense. And when we told her she blamed it on us :/
There are un fair with kids and the principals speak to kids side way all the time they not good with the anti bulling law they dont take care of the situation right away you have to miss work show your ass just for them to see a concern parent horrible.
