"The residents that live in the apartments directly next to the school are sick and tired of hearing the engine revving, tires squalling, AND FLYING BY LIKE WE DONT HAVE TO PARK ON THE STREET WHERE THEY'RE DOING ALL THIS. I have an elderly mom who is bed ridden and has to hear this every day of the week just about. We have enough noise from the street alone, and a factory directly across from us with big rigs coming and going all day long. I have talked to a student from there and she has told me that the students have been warned about this. I was a high school student obviously, and I remember what it felt like when school is out. But I've never seen and heard this many custom vehicles at one school. Some cars are louder than diesel trucks!!! (Like the burgundy Jetta with the stack coming out the hood). Police sit and monitor traffic right in front of the school off hours all the time. Never during school to monitor the students. If we have to follow the law while driving, they should be made to be a little more conscience too. Kids will be kids. I have a system in my car that definitely would exceed city ordinance in areas that enforce it. But I try to be mindful with it. PLEASE have your students try to keep this in mind."

"Total waste of money and time! Signed up for a “Building Construction” and got a High School shop class! Spent 2 wks building a deer blind for his sister! Then spent another day stripping copper wire for his own financial gain! Total joke!! Frankenburg is the WORST “Instructor” EVER!!!"

"The nursing program is a joke and continues to decline. Run while you can do not waste your time or money. There is ONE good instructor who knows what she is doing and talking about. Their fail rates are increasing each year. School is money hungry"

"This place reminded me of 8th grade allover, I was a student in the machinest program and I learned a lot. It was excellent, mostly hands on and verry little bookwork. But having said that,, the place was remineciant of 8th grade, a few of the students were rowdy and acted like children which made it more difficult for the rest of us who were there to learn. You learn by doing, not by misbehaving! The school should have weeded out these juviniles: Instead; they threw them in with the rest of us. Anyway, I guess you meet such immature people in industry as well so that's part of the learning process . All in all this brings me to what I wanted to say: Through the years manufacturing things is not what we do in this country anymore. It's cheaper to offshore the manufacturing jobs. Most jobs today are in the medical field technology and other service industries. The kind of jobs that you can't outsource to other countries. So, if I were a student I would concentrate on computers, medical or the construction industry. Rather than in manufacturing ;however unfornatuletly, you'll still haft to deal with juvenile behavior there as well."

"Went to school here a few years back enjoyed every second of it. Staff was awesome. Teachers were very passionate about making sure everyone learned as much as they could in the time they had."
