Booker T. Washington High School Reviews
Rating 4.35 out of 5 63 reviews
I currently attend Booker T. Washington High School and my experience has been nothing but the best. Washington has been around for 100 years and my class (the class of 2027) will be the 100th graduating class, I am a legacy (my grandmother attended back in the 60s). Washington has been nothing but the best and prepares students for college and the real world. I am an Early College (Dual Enrollment) student who feels like Washington prepares and builds us up for the future. As our school historian states, "We plan with the future in mind." I truly believe that Washington has set me up and allowed me to become successful and my teachers speak nothing but greatness into the kids. The students that give the school a bad reputation are the ones that aren't active in anything in the school. The reputation that our school has fights every day and we don't do anything but have disagreements come from students that choose to not participate in anything.
Booker T. Washington is the best historical school to ever exist! From being the first black high school to have over 100 years of alumni. From two teachers a day to a school full of help and guidance. Washington has truly impacted my life in the best way possible. The academics that Booker T. Washington possesses is way beyond the normal school standards. They are an extraordinary school and live up to the Booker T. Washington name and legacy. I am now a graduate. Class of 2023. I am extremely proud to say the I went to the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON!
This is my last year at booker T Washington high school. This has been the most fun 4 years of my life. I got to meet new people. Figure out what I'm gonna do after high school. They have Prepared me for the real world. And showed me to never give up.
