School Reviews

I am currently a sophomore in Dayton High School, and the student body is definately not friendly. The majority of them are uneducated thugs who worship other thugs like 50 Cent and Ice Cube rather than God or any other entity, or sl*ts with little to no standards and would go so far as to sleep with a teacher of the same gender to get a passing grade. All of which have no future aside from either getting shot in the head during a gang fight or wandering in the streets, either homeless or as prostitutes. If your child is a friendly, happy person, don't make the mistake my parents made and force them to attend Dayton High School.
