The persistent low performance at Meadow Park Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Arkansas elementary schools for the past 10 years, suggests that the school has struggled to improve student outcomes over an extended period, potentially due to the challenges faced by high-poverty schools and the lower funding per student compared to nearby schools.

Teachers turn a blind eye to the little guys being picked on. Like Choked, head slamed into wall kicked picked on called gay you cannot tell me a teacher does not hear this. When asked about cameras then you are told they are not in class, well I am sure its not to hold the teachers accountable. Oh wait but when my child was jumped on in the bus that camera was broke.
The asst principal and principal just make the rehearsed excuses. I wonder how 7 on your side would feel.
Your children are being picked on How will they succeed in life if they feel no one cares anyway. Close Quote
