Joy Elementary

The staff is rude, they do not address parents issues. The Principal tells you to be quite and then rudely turns her back to you while talking and walks away saying she is doing something else and not dealing with it. From a psychology and behavioral researcher, totally unacceptable and extremely poor role modeling for the community. Then you contact the school district and the superintendent tells you the same thing and doesn't want to address the concerns. When a child tells someone that the school is hurting them, something is very wrong with the school system. No wonder the school's in Alaska are some of the worse in the country.

I went to this school, and often felt so terrible with the bullying I received from the students and teachers I left my class and refused to go back, often spending half a day without anyone knowing where I was. My school never informed my parents of my issues and it wasn't until much later that I was able to vocalize my problems. I could easily slip out of the school if I wanted to and walk about the grounds undisturbed. When I think back at this I am horrified to think that other children could be doing this too.
