What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, September 20, 2022

They implemented all of these covid measures and went with these digital solutions but failed to test and request improvements from the company to better the system. Ie football was canceled due to rain, before the game started, we were not refunded money nor given a ticket to rescheduled game, if they were rescheduling the game. They use the same for all events the system is broken and they refuse to address the issue. They informed we could address the website but the SCHOOL HAS TO DO IT not parents. It also seems that the digital website for the school is in the same boat it can't find my child but a teacher has sent me a message through the system that can not find my child. There are bugs with it and they are not addressing the issue. So Yes the ranking and the test they receive I can see why they are what they are, It because of lack of leadership from the principles and the county and no way to make formal complaints at those individuals, You always have to write the state level or address it at govenors office.
