McGuffey High School

"Ignoring all the comments about the anti-gay protest by a few individuals a year ago which has nothing to do with the school itself, here is my opinion from somebody that actually went to school here. This school has some of the worst scores in the state. A good portion of the teachers are simply not very good at their job. The administration is appalling. Football is more important than education or anything. Spend $2 million on a football field and then try to cut the marching band to save money. Seriously? At the time I went there, if you took French or German you would learn things, if you took Spanish you would not. I took 4 years if Spanish and got an A in every class, yet cannot form more than one or two sentences. The students mostly are farmers and have no wish to learn, but are generally good people. There are no gangs and bullying is actually quite minimal. The school still has mold problems but is otherwise kept quite clean."

"Not the greatest school. Average to below average education. Small staff makes it difficult to teach students to their individual levels. Many teachers do at least seem to put in the effort. Staff is mostly good, though it does appear to be mismanaged at times. Student body is not always the best, though the bigots are mostly a vocal minority."

"I think some of the comments are warranted. But some of you are no better than the so called bigots you claim "everyone" is that went there. The funny part is you are basing your opinions solely on what you've heard from the media. Shame on you. Shame on you all. You have no idea what has transpired at the school since this has happened. I will tell you it is for the better. They are way ahead of us as a country. But you didn't hear about that because the media doesn't care. The media only cares about what makes you angry. They only care about hate. I know first hand what is going on. The changes they have made. A good friend of mines daughter goes to school there. She is openly bi. And she says that the whole thing was blown out of proportion but the school is better for the events which did occur. So before you start spreading your hate and rage why don't you do some research. Because a lot of you sound like asses."

"This high school should be ashamed. In this day and age to allow an "Anti-Gay" day. I am speechless. You are now being shouted out to the world as a bunch of back wood hicks. The administration should have acted swiftly and been decisive in showing that this bigotry and hate is not tolerated. The world is watching people and what they think of your school, your students, your standards has a lot to be desired."

"This school should be ashamed for allowing the anti-gay abuse to continue. It seems the brunt of this falls onto the school administrators for allowing such a thing. The parents of these children should also be held accountable. Shame on all of you"
