Open Quote The teachers at this school are GREAT! However, as most "outsiders" will tell you, and even a few teachers, if you are not part of the "in" parent crowd, you are treated, and your kids will be treated less kindly then those kids whose parents have influence, are from the area or have lived their whole life.
