What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, September 14, 2018

This school is beyond horrible!!! No communication at all. The teachers could care less about a students success. They stress kids about apt meetings only school I have seen do this. The meetings are unnecessary and they schedule every grade on a different night and the meeting is 1 and 15 minutes to a hour and a half. The drag their feet when it comes to testing or IEPs. It took them 4 months to complete my childs testing and gave an IEP two weeks before school ended. Which needed to be revised within the first month and half of the next year. I just have nothing good to say about the school. They ignore any and all problems and the school board does the same. The school board is not any better than the school. A lot of parents have moved out of this area because of the schools and the types of people living around here. While it looks like a nice area. There is a lot of racism and hate that goes on in this area/county and people teach the same to their kids. There is also a lot of drug addicts in this area. I do not recommend the schools or buying a property in this county! Close Quote
