J.g. Meiring Hoërskool

As a resident living right next to the school gate, and seeing and hearing the school kids every day I can say with certainty that I will NEVER send my own child to JG Meiring High. The learners are completely out of hand, and the very frequent fights in the streets and those you hear happening during break time are a true reflection of it. The school principal and administration are dismissive and quite frankly don't care at all when residents have something to say about the disgusting behaviour like the smoking openly everywhere around the school area the moment they set foot outside the gate, rowdy and terrible language, not to mention the number of kids jumping over the back fence to bunk every single day. As a parent, the school just has too many massive red flags. I would think that that's the reason for their massive educator turnover rate too. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

J.g meiring was an outstanding school until the late Mr T.I Linderts passed away.I remember when I got into trouble and was sent to his office (grade 8,2017) he wholehearyedly told me and my partner in crime, "you are here at this school so we can teach your how to behave in society." The new principal on the other hand is outright degrading and has made a learning environment feel like a dictatorship even some of the teachers agree with me on this one. This person came to the school as a teacher and I do not even think she has the qualifications to be a principal,but the teachers will always make you feel welcome to learn and,want you to persevere Academic wise. In a nutshell, I would say j.g meiring was the best school to shape you for society,but now it is only a place to get an education.

Very welcoming and social, you always leave with something new learnt. Teachers go out of their way to make sure that their learners have all they need in order to perform at their best.
