What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, June 3, 2019

The principal at this school does not and will not work with parents when there is an issue. Mr. Mcarthy is
awesome working with parents. Teachers put added stress on
students when it comes to testing
and homework. My child worked hard
for A B honor roll all year and
teachers were not very encouraging.
Some of the teachers need to retire if
they do not enjoy teaching and want
to belittle our children. This is
unacceptable behaviour for an adult
of any status much less a teacher
who are supposed to set examples.
The staff knows middle school is a
challenge so why not show more
compassion to the students instead
of making them feel worse! I am
beyond frustrated with the way
things are handled at this school. I as
a parent teach responsibility and
integrity,and to show compassion to
others and not get involved with Bully
drama. Kids are there to learn and
learn to,socilize with others. my child has been through to much drama
and crap and some of the teachers might would see more of they spent time teaching instead of playing in there cell phones or shopping on internet... This is a terrible school and most of the staff Close Quote
