by a parent
Wednesday, May 4, 2011

There is no communication between parents and teachers. If your child excels in sports you better be in their political circle or there isn't a chance at all for them. No supervision at all! Very dissatisfied and dissapointed in the district and the new clay county superintendent for knowingly allowing such politics to happen even when confronted by many parents! Wish they would build another high school in keystone. We are considering a move to get a better education and a safer environment for my children and a real chance to show to show there full potential. Close Quote
