What school district is Hamburg Area High School part of?
I am going into 11th grade i have a disability and i just got transferred out of Hamburg into a cyberschool because the bullying is really bad there and most of the teachers are not understanding of disabilities and one of the teachers emailed my mom to ask how i was doing in my new school she told them i was doing fine and they never replied back. If anyone would have the oppertunity to either go to Hamburg or go to their cyberschool i would choose the cyberschool. Also they have no IEP's or electives for their cyberschool i was told they do this because they dont want students to go to their cyberschool they want them to go to the public school and they will eventually get in trouble for this. After my K-10 experience at hamburg school district i would say that i hated it and i am glad i'm out of it. Hope this helps.
