Bridges Academy

I currently go to school there and the teachers are not professional. They say stuff like piss balls hella. I mean wtf dude u are a teacher. This teacher, Mr. Ward told a student (exact words) I can’t take your sh*t anymore. Like wtf.

Reviewing Bridges as J.W. Fair in 2007. I am certain it has improved since becoming a charter school, but like many kids in middle school, my experience wasn’t always the best.
I did enjoy the lectures and lessons from many of the unique and friendly people on staff, especially Mr. Duran (the math teacher); Ms. Gillespie (Chemistry), Mr. Kinsey (English). I think that when you don’t get distracted by the violence and pre-​teen angst, you can really tell the teachers work hard.
PROS
+ Responsive counselors
+ Great teachers
+ I feel like the community’s gotten safer over the years.
CONS
— Plenty of barbed wired gates to make your kids feel at prison.
— Bullied a little. Made me scared to go to school sometimes.
— Nutrition lacking at times (like breakfast would come and go too fast especially if you had zero period).
— Many gifted kids might not feel challenged by the curriculum at this school.
