August Martin High School
This school has always been bad. I was there from 1982-1986. I learned nothing there to prepare me for life and work challenges. I failed math and gym an entire year and my counselor did not say anything to me until one week before graduation, to tell me I was not graduating because I failed math and gym! The teachers and staff have never cared and lack the education themselves to provide sufficient guidance.
