Bassett Senior High School
I was a former student at bassett high school. the education system there can improve. I almost felt--that the teachers there gave up on the students. Thankfully, I managed to graduate from there [which is a big accomplishment]. Academics is not the student's high priority there. They tend to be more interested in tagging, gangbanging, and/or fighting--and I don't blame them, considering the city the school is located in.

Much work needs to be done, to improve the quality of education. The leadership of the district and school lacks the vision to do what is necessary to make this school a top institution.
