shut hinge
Ok this probably sucks but here I go. Constructive criticism only please.
Peaking in high school during my generation
Ignoring the cries until they go silent
Leaving no room as it spreads through the nation
Intelligence that is no match for someone slipping into descent
Every year, every month, every week, every day
Tension is thick when the drill is all too real
Fear becomes concern turns to delay
How many more lived will ignorance steal

The first time reading it, it was quite difficult to grasp what the subject matter of the poem is, even when knowing the title is "school". Nothing is wrong with being ambiguous or metaphorical, but maybe it would be good to ask a friend or someone else to read through it and see if they understand what's it about. It can be hard as an author to determine whether the audience will understand or not, since you yourself are the writer some things may seem obvious to you but isn't obvious to the audience.
Aside from that though, I enjoy the rhyming scheme.
