What school district is Platte County High School part of?
I have been a student at this school for two years, been in the district for 11 years, and have had a family in this district for as long as I can remember. As a student my review may not be given as much thought as the other reviews here, but I'd very much appreciate the time anyone takes to read this review. Let me start by saying it is very hard as a longtime student to rate their school. I've had bad experiences as well as pleasant ones here. So am not going to rant about the time I failed a test, or waste your time by gloating about the time I passed one. Instead Ill be looking the school it's self as a whole and try to give an honest, unbiased review. My main concern with a school is does this school care for the wellbeing of its students, and will it give them the tools they need to succeed? Unfortunately, this will depend on your assigned teacher. Many teachers at this school will care for their students and support their educational career. I know teachers who would jump through flaming hoops for their students and will go beyond what they're payed for to make sure their students succeed. However, this isn't universal. There are unfortunately a few teachers who doesn't care as much for their students. I've had teachers who give weird looks to students, who would threaten students, and have said multiple racist and misogynistic remarks to students. While these teachers are unacceptable, it's usually not something that's against the school it's self, just some people who are hired. I've had a science teacher who said that she wasn't a good fit to teach an Islamic student and have asked a student to give her enough patience to prevent her from hanging one of her students. So while I think they should reassess their staff I don't blame the school as an employee wouldn't act in such a way in front of their employer. There is almost no way for the administration to know how their staff treats students behind closed doors. But what I do blame the school for is the state of the building. Imagine going to use the restroom at your school that claims to prioritize safety and find that the bathroom stalls don't have doors. Imagine having to hold your contents in until you get home because you don't feel comfortable using the restroom where anyone can see you doing your business. And imagine going to a school assembly where you're told that the restrooms don't have stall doors because some people in a past class, who may have already graduated, had the idea to vandalize the door. This is the life of a high schooler at Platte County High School. I understand the intention of punishing the students who decided to knock down the stall doors by not having them reinstalled. But it is not fair that the rest of the student body has to suffer because of the poor actions of a few students. Why must the student body have to feel unsafe at their own schools because the administration doesn't want to pay to have doors reinstalled in the stalls? Thank you for your time, I understand if I am seen as someone who's just crying over a few bad incidents I had at this school, but I really do appreciate the time you took to read my review if you made it this far. Thank you.

We moved because there was not enough training for staff. If you are college bound or special needs this is not the district for you.
