Overall, Shoemaker is a good school. When my son first started to attend I was worried (because of its bad reputation), however, it really does depend on the student. My son takes AP and honors classes, and those teachers are excellent. He is involved in sport and extracurricular activities at the school. He is making good grades, and has many new friends. So, as for now, I do think that maybe shoemaker has gotten a bad reputation, because of a few bad apples.

Shoemaker could definantly be better. Now, I guess you could say that they are trying to become a better school, especially since they recently hired a College Guidance counselor, but this school still needs some work. Some of the teachers do really care about their students, particularly the ones that teach AP classes, but the students just don't seem to really care about their academics. It's all about what you're wearing and who's fighting who and all that silly teenage jazz. Personally, I cannot wait to go to another high school.

My year at shoemaker was the best year of my life! The dance coach is amazing! Audrey Kosclski. i wish i could go back. They have great freshman teachers, they would accept late work and do whatever to make you pass[even annoy you and call your parents]. But what i dont like is how they reinforce the dress codes because i remember when they stop people with short skirts that are exactly 6 inches above the knee and some other girls wear shorter than that and they dont say anything! but if you've ever been stationed in korea. Then shoemaker is way better in extracurricular activities. They dont even have dance in korea! And the school is much bigger.
