It was very rural, so it's not all what you'd expect of the living on the streets, gang violence, etc. I will say though the way I ended up there first was I was a sub-sub-contractor for a company to upgrade the security camera system to DVR equipment. This was the first school I'd ever seen with cameras damn near everywhere, and I'd been working with a company that provided services to schools and probably been to two dozen different schools by that point. So that right there tells you something, generally the student populace was an unruly mob.

Otherwise, I spent more time there in the summer and on school breaks than during classes, so there's not nearly as much to tell. I will say that a lot of the teachers and administration were just plain stupid. I remember the first day I was there the IT guy was telling me about how a meeting the superintendent of the district kept asking for "vanilla" folders. (By the way she was damn near the stupidest of the bunch, one time I was there working with IT guy and he got called over to fix her printer. She had turned it off...) A lot of my stories would be second hand that I heard working with him really. Graduation rate was nearly non-existent. I remember once being told that elementary school girls would bring up in like "career day" that they were just going to drop out and be hookers.

The whole damn school was kept about as well as you'd expect. It was a trashy shitbox. I mean nothing was well kept. They got all their IT money from federal programs, so they had a lot of that, mainly because it was free to them. The few staff that tried were about out of energy from beating their heads against a brick wall.

If I recall I heard a few years ago that it was shut down due to one of those school consolidations. No doubt rolled into the nearby mostly white schools to bring them down.
