What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, April 13, 2016

This is a great school, my two kids love the teachers and the choice of academic and trade classes. The school is very tight nit. Both of my children and myself, were angry when the school was forced to stop giving an 'entrance exam' because someone's child failed. The test was basically a 5th grade level test! If a student entering 9th grade can't pass a 5th grade level test, the parents should have sued themselves for letting their child fail! My children feel that the ninth graders who entered this first year of non-tested students, are rude and lax in their pursuit of an education. Without the test to at least 'weed-out' the kids who didn't really want to be there in the first place, the school now has to accept any student who applies. I believe this will eventually drag the entire school down to the level of fighting and discontent my kids wanted to avoid in their 'home' school districts. It's a shame, I hope I'm wrong or that the Tech administration work to keep the school functioning at the higher level it's been and not allow it to sink to the lowest common denominator as the local school districts have done.
