I competed at Curtis High School for my school (Shorewood High School) as part of a high school girls water polo tournament in approximately 2009. It was my first water polo tournament between different schools. The school was straightforward to find as was parking. The pool deck was well designed for hosting a water polo tournament and the locker room was easy to navigate and located in close proximity to the pool deck. Tournament workers were friendly and very clear in communicating. Overall the high school did a great job hosting the event. read more

My time here felt like hell. I had no friends and fell down the stairs 16 times. The first 7 we're during my freshman year. I slipped on a banana peel and fell down the stairs ultimately shattering the finger's femur. The when I returned to school, I was pushed to the ground where a hoard of teens who were late to class trampled on my already hurt pinky causing it to grow 5 inches during the healing process. After a month of recovery, I returned to school and on my way to the gym I fell down 5 flights of stairs which ultimately ended with a crushed knee cap. Then while I limped to the nurse I walked into someone locker because they had the door open and 2 of my teeth fell out. The rest of my year was relatively peaceful. I failed a few classes, attended summer school, and volunteered at the elderly dog shelter. The trouble started all over agin next year though because I was bullied for being the shortest junior in my year and while going to report my bullies to the principle, I slipped and triple back flipped on the halls wet ground. Then I slid all the way to the top of the ten flights of stairs and stopped just before what was definitely gonna be my doom. Then when I got up, I slipped on an orange peel which someone had left on the ground and was flung down the staircase I nearly avoided. I broke my hip and cracked a rib on the way down. It was a painful fall full of a constant thumping which has now given me trauma so that whenever I hear a drum, I drift into a panic attack. I wasn't allowed to go back to school after that. I spent the rest of the year recovering from my injuries. I was homeschooled throughout my final year in high school. I was doing fine in school and had been rehabilitated to the point where I could walk. Staying away from that horrid school left me injury free. Injury free until the incident happened that is. I had to take the final in the school so they would know i didn't cheat. Despite all the signs that I should absolutely refuse, I agreed to come thinking that the worst was already over. I walked in and the hall went silent and everyone stared since the rumors of what had happened to me had spread to every student in the school. It was awkward but I just looked forward and walked towards the exam room. But, I was to busy looking forward to notice the basket ball that someone had lost control of heading my way. SMACK!!! It hit me right on the back of my skull shocking me and making me lose my balance and fall down a tall menacing flight of stairs. There was red everywhere and I could hear people screaming. It was a horrific scene. I had broken my neck and sprained my left ankle in the fall. When I reached the bottom, I crashed into an unsuspecting lunch lady holding a tall tray full of room temperature tomato soup. I had ruined the entire school's lunch and just because of this, I give Curtis High School 4 stars. That was the best scene ever and I remember it to this day. read more

I cannot speak for the teaching here, but I can tell you that this building is neglected and the safety of your children is not a priority. For an entire year during the pandemic there was a bathroom in use without running water to the sinks, the railings on the stairs are coming out of the walls, there are missing covers where carpet meets the hard floor, and air filters changes are taken as a suggestion. Leaking toilets would be left alone and I would be instructed that it wasn't a safety concern when I tried to close off that stall, which had a large trail of water. I worked here, and reported numerous safety concerns such as holes in walls, trip hazards, and sanitation issues. The union president (also did the building maintenance) and his some worked hard to make me feel uncomfortable because his son was the lead custodian and I was complaining after three years of nothing being fixed. I would not send my children here, it is not up to snuff. They also reuse spice containers like ones holding sesame seeds after they are empty, and fill them with different products. This is an allergy hazard. I know for a fact this was reported and never addressed. In my opinion, this is not a safe or healthy place for children. read more

Terrible school. No one cared about my daughter's success. She has ADD that was documented every year and they still constantly put her in classes she couldn't pass. Only time any one talked tto her about her grades is if a parent demanded that they do something. Apparently don't care about struggling students and their graduuation rate. Don't bother asking for mental health support. There's nothing there. read more

I think Curtis is a great school! The school offers many AP's and other alternatives (running start/normal classes). Many of the sports are highly known for being consistently successful. I am proud to be a Viking read more
