Heart Lake Secondary School

Unfavourable teachers. Bad teachers. Mcnichols was intimidating and tried to make fun of everyone, despite not being much to look at. Armstrong was a horrible rude loser of a VP, Straatsma & Lecce were pretentious and racist. Ramirez thought everyone and everything was discriminatory towards women, despite ignoring real discrimination in favour of her pathetic world view. Gavrilos tried to intimidate you because he wouldn’t be checked by a real adult. Noon was just acting like an irresponsible goon, and Primeau was simply too immature and disgusting and passive aggressive, the library teacher was annoying and didn’t like helping people. Overall bad students and bad teachers.

The teachers were physically abusive behind closed doors, not all of them but there was a select group and they were cruel. Please do not send your children here for their own safety

It's an alright school but my only problem is that they are very unorganized and they make it very difficult for you to understand the schedule. For example today I have gotten several emails from the school about what the schedule will look like for semester 2 and they are all telling me different things. There is absolutely no clarity and the emails they send out directly contradict eachother. They do things in such a wierd way and don't tell people about it until the last minute.

I attended this high school from 1996 to the year 2000 and I this school was a huge dump it is dirty, the teachers are a nightmare. Worst high school in the region of Peel

First of all, Is this even a school at all? It's literally so ugly and gross. Ms. Fontaine is just a miserable lady handing out too much unnecessary work every single day. Obviously she has no care towards any of her students personal life if they struggle or not because all of that work can pile up continuously since she assigns too much everyday. At the end she complains saying "You're the one piling up too much work its not my problem at all". Hire better teachers or just keep this school in it's trashed state because I could honestly care less lol.

A complete disappointing school. One of the teachers named Ms. McNichols who is charge of teaching a Grade 9 class is rather intimidating and sort of an uncomfortable feeling for her students. I don't suggest going to this school especially since the layout of it is beat up and out of shape for appearance-wise. I'm not trying to bring this school down but they need to start putting care towards making this school look appealing and have teachers that are more welcoming for students for the long term. Not treating their students like unfavorable strangers.

Elena Pagonis is a really short tempered teacher! She is quite rude and just has attitude on a lot of her students.

One of the main bad teachers was Mrs. Ramamurthy, she was often loud and rude and didn’t teach very well.

I would not recommend. Bad school, and staff such as former Vice Principal Armstrong made it unbearable to attend. Armstrong always seemed rude and tried to intimidate kids. Constantly scowling around kids that were not Caucasian. Favouritism and racism were daily attributes from him. Also, seemed way too self-important and grandiose that he needed to rag on people for small, barely noticeable mistakes. Constantly trying to humiliate everyone and anyone that were unfortunate enough to displease him with the smallest of transgressions. He had certain targets he would pick on. For every good thing he did, he did 10 worse things, and acted very immature and childish, but then again he’s a middle aged obese man who wears obscenely tight shirts and has disgustingly greasy hair, better behaviour should not be expected. He once tormented a kid who was being bullied, to his face.

I thoroughly believe that Jenny Ramirez lost her mind and competence to be a teacher. Accusing everything and everyone of discrimination towards the female gender, and in overall being annoying, rude and having a false sense of earnestness about what is true and what is not. Trying to humiliate her students and talking down on them and accusing them falsely of being discriminatory or rude is not the way to act towards kids.

I'd give them a zero star if I could, they handle the students terribly, there's no help if you need it, they misinterpreted things easily, you have zero privacy, and all the teachers there are unsupportive. If you're lucky you'll find a very rare teacher that will be there for you. Find another school if you get the chance
