I attended this school from the age of 12 through 18 and have several friends that have attended it as well.. Let me start by saying the ciriculum is lacking how is it it only requires 16 credits to graduate but they tell your family you will recieve a better education than the one your getting in public school. There is a prooben math defficincy going back to the 1960's so what are the teachers teaching. How are kids that are required to be legally blind to attend are allowed to take drivers ed at Jacksonville High School. Yet the school doesn't allow kids to check out liberary books unless they say their okay meaning grade school level. And have even distroyed books to keep kids from checking them out. My husband's name is the only wrestler to take the school to Nationals and is painted on the gym wall yet he hasn't been allowed to show our children because he wrote a petition while in school stating we had the right to a better education and the staff threatened the kids with punishment if we signed it. I also was part of a history making swim team yet our children can't see our plack. And as a senior I was nearly raped by another student and even with witnesses and evidence nothing was done. This school has produced more babies than successful students someone needs to look into it.
