Thursday, March 17, 2016

The school is only good because we get to take classes at the local community college. The people who run the school are AWFUL. They are rude and sarcastic. You are expected to read their mind. It was better earlier this year when we had a regular teacher and principal at our school. They were nice and treated us with respect, but for "budget reasons" they got rid of both of them. (Of course they hired another person and gave two other people raises.) Now the morale at the school is horrible...no one likes being treated like they're stupid. Close Quote

This school has a active investigation from the U.S. Department of Education Officer of Civil Rights for over 6 allegations for failing to abide by the Federal Laws regarding disabilities, accommodations and 4 plus counts of retaliation. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL THERE ARE MORE OPTIONS THAT ARE OPEN, AND SCHOOLS WITHIN THE STATE THAT ABIDE BY THE LAWS. Close Quote
