Seeing it for themselves from inside the classrooms, KUAM spoke with several Guam's public school students who gave their grades on the facilities.

Donte Balansay shared his input on FB Leon Guerrero Middle where he attends.  

"Maybe like a 'C,"' he said.  

Mark Balansay is a John F. Kennedy senior said, "I think JFK is an 'S+'," he said. The letter "S" stands for satisfactory. " Like it's it's from the schools like I want to practice I think that JFK kind of outshines most other schools or like condition maybe like maybe Okkodo or  Southern are that up to par." 

Erica Westfall is a sophomore who also goes to JFK. But she offered her take of a long, problem-plagued school she used to attend. 

"For Sanchez? I would give it a 'B,'" she said. "I just feel like when you get there, you don't really have that, you know, like that sense of like, joy because of how it looks. It was kind of dull."

She hopes the home of the sharks will be rebuilt soon. 

"I came from Sanchez, that’s like a home to me and seeing what my old friends may be going through right now, it’s hard for them," she said. "They’re really going strong through it."

The woes at the facilities were highlighted during a public hearing held last week to discuss a bill that would ramp up school inspections. 

The Yigo campus recently got a “D” rating from the Department of Public Health and Social Services  inspectors who found multiple issues to include rat infestation. 

Sanchez High, Southern High, Oceanview Middle and FBLG are among the schools recently in the spotlight for not making the grade.

FBLG students are currently sharing a campus with Okkodo high until repairs are made at their school. 

Donte Balansay shares how the double session has been going.

"Not a big fan of the schedule at Okkodo," he said. "Because we, so usually I go to my bus stop at like 11:30,   our bus picks us up at 12. Then school starts at 1:15. Then we get out at 5:45 and I'm usually home by 6:20 So it's like already getting dark."

KUAM News also spoke with Benavente Middle School teacher Marlene Mendiola gives her school a B+.  

"Everything, everything has changed. So it's actually really, it's really nice," she said. "Yeah, it's really a nicer school than when I first started there . They gutted out some of the ceilings, and they added a canopy so now the kids don't get wet. So it's a really wonderful what they did for where I work."

While plans are in the works to rebuild certain Guam Department of Education facilities, Mendiola adds those plans should include long-term upkeep. 

"All the other schools that tried to rebuild, and then the maintenance with it is another story," she said. "So yes, you can rebuild a new school. But if you start not maintaining it, then boom, the school will fall apart."
