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.
Hellish I went here and now have PTSD. I will never be free of this cesspool. I was literally subjected to acts of torture as a child and Northrop did more psychiatric damage through things like being publicly groped. I remember a school administrator telling me, "Every year has a kid everybody picks on, and you're that kid." She didn't care. I'm not even going to say what I thought about doing to myself on school grounds so people don't get ideas.
It looks like a nice school. I'm going there in the future. :)
This school has great Administrators this year! They’re a lot more laid back on the dress code then when Mr.Simmons was there, We have a new principal that started last year and he has been working on the foul language that goes on in that school, if you cuss at a teacher it’s an automatic 2 out of school suspension alittle ridiculous but there’s a lot of people that are very rude in this school, this principal seems caring of the students but overall I think he’s just lazy because if you ever talked to him about something that goes on or if someone says something to you he just tells you to report to the administration when I know they wouldn’t do anything about it anyways, I just think the teachers are lazy and don’t want to help the students learn and the guidance counselors are just the same too, if you’re a parent and your looking for a school for your child to go to please don’t pick this school besides that it’s overcrowded anyways! We don’t need more students!!!
