Secondary school pupils raised concerns over their privacy after they came back from the Christmas break to find that doors were removed from the boys' toilets.
Tom Dolly, deputy headteacher at Range High School in Formby, near Liverpool, said the school had "refurbished and upgraded" by pulling the doors off their hinges, but students disagree.
One Year 11 pupil at the school told the Liverpool ECHO that people are now "uncomfortable" using the facilities, but the school saw the measures necessary to combat what was described as "anti-social behaviour".
No changes have been made to the girls' toilets.
The aforementioned pupil said: "People don't feel comfortable using the toilets.
"There are cubicles, but the urinals are behind a screen and you can see into the room and hear people using the toilets.
"It's just created tension in the school. It happened to me yesterday, I was using the toilet and there were some girls outside, and as I was coming out they shouted 'we can hear you'.
"It's not a comfortable experience."
The student said he did not think it was fair for only the boys' toilets to be targeted in this way.
He said: "I don't think the girls should have their doors removed but for me you should either do it to both or not at all.

"I don't understand why. You will get a different answer depending on who you ask. One said because of anti-social behaviour, another said to improve ventilation."
Tom Dolly, deputy headteacher at Range High School, told the ECHO: "Following some anti-social behaviour in certain boys' toilets, the school has refurbished and upgraded some of the facilities as part of an ongoing improvement agenda and as requested by the school student council.
"No one's privacy is compromised in any way following the installation of new privacy panelling in the two toilets where doors have been removed.
"There are also many other toilets across the school for students to access."
