Open Quote The problem with this school is that when the principal changes everything change .
This is my son's last year . When he was in second grade was diagnosed with ADHD. So we began to give him medicine after a lot of stress from the principal ( McAneny )
Then we struggled with him in third grade until he left . 4th grade .the best year ever with new principal ( Dr Taylor) amazing man . He was handling any problems and understand that ADHD kid needs more help.
This year the worst year ever . New principal ( Sasin)
All what she is doing is suspending kids and she never Tried to help the kids first to improve their behavior or education. The deal is if your kid has problems so she will force you and stress you until you leave the school. She Treated me and my wife very bad several times and I had to go school superattendant assistant.
That not only my opinion. My son's friend father told me the same Close Quote
