I am a student of Jonathan Dayton High School, and I think we have much to improve on. The superintendent only cares about what's going into his pocket, and our schools suffer. We have unnecessary laptops that do not help in any way with our learning (actually, they are a distraction), and fewer electives because of it. We also have fewer electives because of our 'zero period', in which we do literally NOTHING for 42 minutes. This period was put in place purely for cost purposes.
As a highly motivated student at Jonathan Dayton High School, I have dealt with many of the administrators. In my experience, the majority of those working at Dayton care about the well-being of the school and its students. The counselors in the Guidance Department and the educators and administrator in the Science Department are particularly passionate and helpful. Physical Education, previously more like a study hall, has become much more adept and thorough-- I come home from Phys. Ed and I am sore from all that we do! Overall, the educators and administrators are there to help any students who are concerned enough to seek it out. One extremely crucial element of the school: our principal. In my personal experience, this woman has been nothing but cantankerous and abusive to her power. It is nearly impossible to receive approval for anything and seems to regard most students and educators with unmasked
I am a student of the school, and although the amount of extracurriculars may be sub-par, the staff is very qualified. There are new clubs being added every year, and there are a wide range of them already. It is a safe, friendly environment, and (in my opinion) good for children.
