Malcolm X Shabazz High School Reviews
Rating 3.63 out of 5 60 reviews
Malcolm X Shabazz High School disappoints with consistently low student grades. Academic performance falls far below acceptable standards, reflecting a lack of effective teaching and support. This alarming trend not only hinders students' educational growth but also raises concerns about the school's commitment to providing a quality learning environment. A notable decline in test scores and graduation rates underscores the urgent need for improvement. This institution's struggle to maintain academic excellence does a disservice to its students, hindering their prospects for the future. Parents and guardians seeking a strong educational foundation for their children may want to explore alternative options to ensure better educational outcomes.
Malcom x shabazz high school. My first year here was my junior and my experience overall was not what I was expecting. The students are what makes the school, the school it is today. Unity is one good word to describe Shabazz. Everyone seems to care for everyone and get along well. I'll love to see a big change with the environment of the school. Not up to par with the cleaning and organizing
I’m a future entrepreneur's who is trying to make something of myself and not fall into the street as of right now I’m focusing of getting my body to peak performance for American football next school year
