I'm a former student here graduated in 2010. It was a absolute joke if I could go back to the 8th grade where I could pick my high school I would have tried to get into the Las Vegas academy. I don't wanna totally dog this place and be THAT GUY! I had a hand full of awesome teachers there that had the passion to actually teach but again that was only a handful in the 4 years I went. The other teachers acted like it was a baby sitting job and I had one teacher actually refuse to teach his class because he was anger with the school district.
Las Vegas just sucks for education in general if I have kids they won't even go to school out here.
Also drugs are a huge thing too. Passing period I'd watch all of these wanna be hendo thugs selling drugs I saw some from get hooked on heroine and I have heard that several of my peers have died from over dosing and I even started to get hooked on pills myself my 10th grade year but cleaned up shortly after it's shitty but it's true and I waited till I was clean a whole year till I told my parents.
Majority of the teachers are a joke
Lol the deans weren't my biggest fan and I wasn't theirs either so I think it's a mutual disagreement
And the majority of the students were a joke too. I loathed being there for 4 years
Absolutely materialistic and stupid coming from 14 year old who don't know jack shit about life (neither did I at the time)
The school only wanted money for stupid stuff
OK like I said earlier I don't wanna be that guy!
The good things about the school.............
Ughhhh..........
............
My teachers that's all I have nice to say about the school besides Chinese food Tuesday -.-
Mr. Speiglymyer was my world history teacher and he was the man! Friggin awesome old school guy that actually taught me something
Mrs. Reed my sociology teacher had a open mind and you could tell se was a little kid still inside which made it awesome to talk to her about anything
Mr. Brayman was fucking awesome my Brit lit teacher who actually prepped me for the real world senior year taught me about how college would be and how to think on my own cuz most the other teachers mistakes it for elementary school and had us color like we were 5 years old :/ but not this guy we had to know our shit! My hardest class ever! But taught me the most because he was the most realistic
Other then that this place sucked. If you love your kids don't send them here send them somewhere else
