by a parent
Sunday, March 8, 2015

Ivy Hall used to be a blue ribbon school, however the standards have fallen down since Amy Gluck took over as the principal. She hired a bunch of inexperienced and unqualified teachers and they have no subject knowledge. New teachers have become non-collaborative with parents and dont want parents to be engaged with students education or activities.

Hate to see my tax dollars go down the drain. This is just an average run of the mill school.

No special programs for gifted, no encouragement etc Close Quote
