I am a student at UT Tyler and in accordance with educator preperation classes, I conducted my last 2 months of the semester at John Tyler High. To be honest, after hearing numerous bad reviews of the students, the teachers and the school itself, I was understandably nervous. By the end of my 2 months, I was almost in tears at the thought of having to leave the students and the teacher I had the pleasure of working with. In fact, I returned to the school on my own time to spend more time in the classroom. I agree that new teachers that really care about the students and their education would be a good addition to the school, but this idea is only based on my encounter with one teacher! The students are more than capable to reach their dreams....someone just needs to help guide them through the rough patches.
I think John Tyler needs new teachers that actually care, and the administraters have no control over the students
This is one of the worst schools I've ever encountered. The children are out of control and the administration is completely ineffective in dealing with them. Reading and writing skills are abyssimally low.
John Tyler is an outstanding school. I had one student graduate from John Tyler last year and was well prepared for college. Dr. McFarland has done a outstanding job of removing the barriers to a college education for his students. My daughter and many of her classmates were able to take numerous college visits during the senior year and was given quite a bit of one on one help with scholarships and college enrollment applications. If I am not mistaken over 95% of her classmates were accepted to college and her entire class recieved over $5 million dollars in scholarships. I am excited about his leadership and the changes he is making at the school. I have a 9th grade student and she loves the school and her teachers. They are already talking to her about college. I wish more people in the community recognized the outstanding things happening at JT.
