Open Quote Enrollment down 20 due to underlying issues. CRT training starts very early here in 1st grade. Your kid will not bring anything home
Regarding american revolution founding fathers or abe lincoln or native americans. High turnover with principals and staff. Teachers are bad and only there for a paycheck. Voted to not have homework so kids have no homework but expect themselves to test out. I have never heard of school that doesnt believe homework provides any benefits so the parents hold the job of actually doing the teaching teachers are basically babysitting here trying to do least amount of work as possible. Asians account for the overall high test average. If your kidd is average expect to do all the teaching and 25 drop in enrollment is not due to covid. It is due to fed up parents pulling there kids out to go elsewhere if you think i am making any of this up just ask them about CRT at crabapple. And what papers there kids are bringing home. My review is true of this school Close Quote
