Laura Reeves was the worst school I've ever experienced, more like a child prison than a place of learning. Silsbee High School is like too many other public schools, cares nothing about the individual, and puts the institution's needs above the students. Parent involvement is shunned, and obviously there aren't enough parents in this district who care enough to take a stand against the schools. If I had another choice, my child would not be going to Silsbee High School.

I left SHS to be homeschooled. The teachers and many of the people there have grown up together, and they know each others family. Many students are favored over others. Teachers treat you diffrently because of who your family is. I had a class in where one of the teachers would let some of the kids have their electronics" visibly out. (Which is against school policy) other students in the same class could not have theirs out, simply because they didnt know them as well. One of the teachers i had failed me because i was very sick and was homebound for months, and she did not give me all of my work. She told me and my mother that she "couldnt put her finger on it, but she just had an issue with me". Also i was put on probation for "truancy" ,the attendance lady lost all my dr. notes. I had to go through all the days and get excuses for all of the days i missed and bring them to court. A friend of mine got called to the courthouse for 3 absences in a six week period and they then told him, "we dont have any record of you being absent. When he was absent on multiple occasions.This schools top priority is not the students, and i will not return to silsbee high school

I am a sophomore at this school and I am overall not pleased with it. There is no challenge in this school at all, and to me it seems like they are more concerned with their public appearance and sports than their students. I have been enrolled in Silsbee schools all my life and when I got into SHS it just lost all its luster. I dislike several of the teachers there mainly because they discipline unequally.
