Too many terrible teachers Close Quote

Monday, January 30, 2017

Hateful spiteful School the staff absolutely cares more about themselves than their your students on any day! They do not do a good job teaching they do not ensure that every child is learning with their supposed to be learning and with all the standardized testing there is no retention of information there's just pushing them through the system and I am terribly worried about the education that my children are getting. The students are basically condoned to bully one another to speak nasty sexual things to get into fights the bus drivers most of them look like meth heads or jerks or ex-cons another one that picked my son up almost hit my car speeding around the corner one afternoon I do not trust her with my child I hate this school I hate having to send my child to this school all the teachers are nasty and should not be in this position none of them not one.

Cedar Hill an excellent school. I think there has been a lot of bad hype, but I encourage parents to try Cedar Hill for themselves, and form your own opinions. One parent's/child's bad experience may not always be the school's fault, no matter what that parent may lead you to believe. Close Quote
