School Reviews
| 2 If you are planning on sending your children to college, do not send them to this school. This school did not prepare me for higher education. This school does not teach students testing skills or basic classes. Students are left academically deficient in Math, Science, and English. ACT and state testing scores place Shabazz students at one of the lowest in the city. This school also does not hold a high standard for student conduct. I saw threats, bullying and even sexual harassment openly take place. I do believe that alternative education can be beneficial, but I don't believe that this school is a good place to place your children. - Posted by Student/Alumni - dw537 |
