Medical Lake High School

Posted May 8, 2009

For the most part this District is not the best choice if you have other options. There are a few good teachers. However, District administration has little concern for academic excellence and seems to be more concerned with cutting budgets for school programs rather than taking personal pay cuts. The school district administration and district office operate secretly in handling parents complaints and issues. Most things are swept under the rug by this tight knit group of individuals who work closely together in formulating parent responses to any complaints or suggestions. Teachers fall in line and say what they are told to say. This district needs a complete overhaul from the top down.

First of all let me say that the teachers of this school that my son has had the last 3 years have been wonderful! Everyone my son has had has been very approachable and helpful. My disappointment with the school comes from various different levels otherwise. Clubs should be before school or after school, and not during the advisory period. Advising is a joke at this school; I contacted my son's advisor in his junior year about college prep. and she said they don't even address it until Senior year, which is far too late to begin the process. Pam Veltry, the school superintendent needs to be voted out! She is more worried about getting new offices for the district than she cares about books, classes or quality hot lunches for the students! Their priorities are messed up; I have had to fight to get books for some classes.

At my daughters request, I have pulled her from MLHS and she will now be attending a private christian school. The school needs to really start thinking more about the education of the kids.

MLHS needs great improvement. MLHS has some really awsome teachers but there are good and there are bad teachers. You can definately tell which ones are there just for their pay check those who don't care about the education of the kids. Students are constantly being put down, and if your a minority in the school its 10 times worse off for them. They need to re-evaluate what is really going on. Many parents and students have brought such issues to principles, and higher authority and nothing seems to get done. Its not fair to the parent or the child, because in return the child gets repremanded when he or she returns to school. Don't get me wrong there is a great handfull of teachers who give the time to work with their students and get to know them one on one and know whats going on in their lives.
