Queen Elizabeth High School | Calgary Board of Education

Idk

some food is good but a bit overpirced but they gotta make stonks so like but like idk not really that much school spirit and alot of lectures

This school doesn't evaluate students properly, and are too financially biased to help the students achieve their full potentials. The teachers are kind, but it still can't make up for the fact that although Queen E is old, it is still undergoing many changes that make organization difficult. Written by a junior high student.

I've been going to this school since grade 7, and the entire Queen Elizabeth system since kindergarten. Lots has changed, lots has stayed the same, but a big change I've noticed since grade 7 is the slow decline of school spirit and enthusiasm for QE. I was on the cross-country team this year (one of four students on the team), and the incredibly small size of the team speaks for itself. At cross country meetups, every other school seemed to be enthusiastic, to be proud of what they were doing and who they were representing, and I got the sense that our team just didn't feel the same way. We have not had a pep rally yet this year, and during the last couple of home room periods, some home rooms were told to stop the littering throughout the school, and this shows the lack of respect students have for good ol QE. Who knows, maybe this has always been going on for the 110 years of our school, and maybe most schools have these problems too. I'm just saying I've never seen it like this before and that we should do something to raise the level of school spirit and respect

4 of my children have went to this school and over the years it has failed year after year. The teachers are biased very muchly for sports against many kids. The extra help is not so easily given anymore. The dumb lectures they give kids for being kids. Kids are kids and will make rumors and do stupid stuff. Seems to be nothing can be done as the office thinks they are still kindergarten children. Kids make mistakes and move on, alot of the staff here is very useless in many ways. I used to think this was a great school for my kids. Now I have 2 in there and debate putting them elsewhere. The folks you have running this school need to really wake up and see what is going on there. Alot of kids just make up something and get another in trouble. Instead of figuring it out. They are just gonna accuse over a rumor. As adults running a school, very sad how the matters are dealt with. My son has has developed anxiety with the rubbish at this school with their intimidation ways. I have asked numerous times not to scold my child and call me. But they continue to hold my son at times and interrogate him over childish rubbish. There needs to be an inquiry about how they handle dealing with kids. As a parent having another interrogate your child like they do intimidating them. Really boils my blood.
