Sunday, September 16, 2018

All the school cares about is their test scores. There is a lot of harassment and has small drug problems. The administration will not care about any harassment just only wanting to suspend kids without proof and only by bias. The lunches and breakfasts are overpriced and the lowest grade of food that is legal in MN If you are wondering why the school district is poorly funded, it is because of poor treatment of students. I would rather go take the 10-15 minute drive down to maple Grove for better education Close Quote
