William E Tolman High School

Best high school ever

best school ever

This school is ehhhh at best, the heat is like if you put the Sahara desert inside of an oven and threw the oven into the sun, and the hallways are so small that it takes a millennia to get by (Maybe a century if you’re lucky enough.) Other than that, the school is pretty decent if you want to experience an average public high school (The fights are a bit much though.) But the food is hit or miss personally (The burgers especially.) Other than that the school is pretty much average American High School (no surprise) and can have its good moments (sometimes.) So minus the negative points this school is pretty ehhhh… (Also the school could use some renovations seeing as it was built in the 1920s. That’s just my opinion though.) As for rating this school gets a 2.8 (Rounded up to 3 for personal reasons.)

During summer the classrooms become incredibly humid and hot. Nearly everyone has complained about the heat but nothing is being done to fix it! Everyone knows that the heat causes exhaustion and hinders the students ability to learn and the teachers ability to teach effectively. The heat is only one issue with this school along with every other school in Rhode Island. These schools were built around the 1950s and haven’t been renovated or modernized since! No wonder there are so many absent students, it’s probably because of the heat and the completely dilapidated buildings! How can you expect students to focus and retain what they’re learning if they’re bodies are more focused on keeping them cool and they’re forced to learn in a building that has the same structural stability of a paper mache bomb shelter. Something has to be done about how these schools priorities. They should focus more on making the schools more hospitable, it feels like the Middle East just walking around the halls. Imagine sitting in a classroom for 45 minutes to an hour with around 15 other kids sweating and fanning themselves with notebooks. Outrageous!
