What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 5, 2018

We recently had an Algebra class that had 59 D and F failing rate in the grade. A parent ended up suing the school over a double jeopardy against his son for his original grade as well as a recovery credit grade. The parent ran for school board to make change for all the students and so many of the staff and board members and even high school principle took no accountability but ran a complete smear campaign against this parent and his son on facebook . I am incredibly disappointed in the school and its conduct. We appear to have children leading our children. Close Quote
