Thursday, July 28, 2022

For the money spent per student you'd expect this school wouldn't be ranked near the bottom of all schools in New Hampshire. Low expectations for students, low academics, no accountability, non-livable wage for staff. Incompetent principal who blames the low test scores on kids "not trying". Ha. Now I know why these kids fail to achieve academic success of any kind! Close Quote
