Open Quote LOVE this school! Close Quote


by a parent
Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Open Quote stagnation and politics limits the schools ability to positively meet the needs of students who are outside the norm. Although they have a good intensive needs special Ed program, , students are not good for students with milder issues. For example, I had a child with anxiety and emotional issues. It affected her performance in school,but but, did not affect others. Her teacher told me she was the only student he had hoped would not be in his class the prior year. He never made a effort to reach out to us to brainstorm ways to help her. He even took time out of the school day to lecture me on proper parenting, while I was trying to attend to the needs of m y ADHD special Ed child. I am thrilled robe able to say that she is now an honor student In high school. The politics/power struggle between parents,teachers and princal also compromise the school.

They seem to value test scores over. Quality and compassion. Close Quote
