What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, December 4, 2018

1. Teachers don't care whether kids do homework or get failing grades. They'll fight you to pass her on anyway (for stats?) 2. Requests for help are met with obstruction. If you ask for an SST, they will ambush you with every teacher she had who suddenly think your daughter is a great student. It is really shocking. 3. Special Ed needs? Run, don't walk from this school. 4. If you are a single parent, or not affluent, you will not be an equally respected member of the school community. That's for starters. Close Quote
