What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, September 24, 2012

There is a prevalent air of condescension among many staff. The teacher to student ratio is too high to support adequate educational opportunities. The children are expected to be little robots and are disciplined for every minute infraction. There is almost no sports and limited extra curricular activities, and no advanced classes for gifted and talented students. Creativity is discouraged in the name of conformity. This is a small town school with small town standards and expectations. Close Quote

They need new teachers & teaching methods. Teacher communication with parents is not there. Close Quote

Religious intolerance and hostile staff. Bizarre educational practices that set children back and change from year to year. School allows teachers' religious beliefs to interfere with the curriculum. Close Quote
