What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, July 24, 2011

This school has made a drastic decline in the past year. Mr. Miller worked extraoridnarily hard to improve this school and it's reputation while he served as Principal. It has quickly turned back into a terribly troubled school with very little effort to address parent concerns and problems brought to their attention over this past school year. There are very few caring & willingness to change problems and be consistant in doing so. We should NOT be a school that has all the troubled, problem kids bused to our school and put up with their lack of respect and repeatative misbehavior. It has come to the point where ZERO TOLERANCE depends on who you are & what you've done. It's not at all consistant in handling these kids & their ability to rule the classrooms and somewhat the school!!!There is a definite need for redefining the rules and consequenses of breaking those rules. The Teachers should be in charge of their classroom, not the Students! This is what prevents our children from learning and enjoying school. Common sense has gone "Out the window." Please help us take back our schools to a safer, controlled environment and a pleasant place to learn.

Sincerely,
Barbie Fulk Close Quote
