Worst school I have ever encountered ! The faculty does not hold student accountable for their actions! Dunn and Malone are by far the worst staff they condone bad behavior. Several parents and my self have pulled our kids out because of the horrible leadership at this school! But don’t take my word for it just sit back and watch the clown show!

I don't recommend this school, in my first year. I dropped out and switched schools right after my freshman year after an incident that involved another student. The teachers hardly did anything to help me get out of my academic rut no matter how many times I asked, and then flunked me. But this didn't happen to just me, it happened to many other people I was associated with... And when they actually gave me an answer when I asked for help, it was vague, or they would tell me irrelevant information that I already know. About 80% of the staff there were not great both to teach and facilitate. To make that statement clearer, there was an incident with people recording people getting beat up in the bathrooms and posting them on the web. The staff knew of this and did nothing about it. When it was brought up again, they claimed they knew nothing about it at all. Moving on, there was close to no time windows for projects. Maybe a day or two. The students attending in my year were highly messed up, either with illegal things, or a snappy attitude. So overall, it was an atrocity. In full. I would not recommend this school.

I'm a freshman at Shadle Park. I'm in really challenging classes, that are years above my grade level; like chemistry. Trust me it hasn't been easy juggling four advanced classes, and participating in time consuming afterschool activities; that's is for sure. I chose this crazy combination of classes and activities, and the Shadle Staff has always helped me when I have too much homework; or if there is something I don't understand. I feel like I've learned/grown so much, that it's hard to beleive it's only been a couple months. I Shadle has a really great dedicated staff, and I feel if some students at Shadle would apply themselves more; they would find that Shadle's an awesome school. If they would just stop focusing on the negatives, and start focusing on all the positives. Maybe they would see that all the teachers, and the staff are all there for you.

It's obvious some of these reviews are written off of biased opinions. Our student body is not a mess. Our teachers are fine, and kids need to learn how to get their work done and get their help. Anyone who thinks the teachers are bad haven't been there themselves. End of story, I've been well educated, and I PASSED the running start entrance exams flawlessly.

Terrible School, Terrible Administration, and Terrible Curriculum. Most teachers don't care about student's future or their education. They use "smart" boards to help them spell!!! All colleges in town complain that Shadle is the only school that doesn't support the Running Start and most students can't even pass the entrance test due to the lack of education. The parents' connect online feature although advertised A LOT, doesn't actually work, because teachers are too lazy to post the grades, so you never know where your child is at. Administration doesn't support students or parents. For that beautiful renovated school outside it is very rotten on the inside. I will NEVER send another of my children to Shadle!!!
