Parents who complain need to get involved. I see very few parents who actually take the time to volunteer or interact with the school employees. It makes me so frustrated that any parent would give this school a negative rating. Instead of complaining get involved whether it's volunteering or simply showing up to your child's school functions. Many parents here don't work but don't find the time to support this school and yet find the time to complain. Close Quote

my child told a counslor that she was being bullied and she did nothing about it she just sent her back to class. She finally had a fight with her and she got a suspension. She also told me the teachets treat het bad. Yes i am very angry they call me when she talks in class and give her two hrs of detention and wouldn't do anything about her being bullied now she wants to commit suicide. I HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. Yes i have brougjt this to their attention but yet still nothing has been done they treat her like an outcadt and im not going to stand for it even if i have to get NBC 5 Involved. Close Quote
