great school. my daughter improved too much there. Close Quote

My child has been attending this school or 5 years and we love the fact that there is the option of single gender classes and mandatory school uniforms. Most of the teachers have been great with the exception of this current school year. What bothers me the most is the fact that the Principal Mrs. Murray is a uniform nazi and cares more about enforcing the dress code than education. Her focus is way off base here and she continues to harass the girls who are wearing uniform pants because the pants are not baggy. I have repeatedly read the dress code rules and no where does it state that your child must wear clothes that are too big for them. Seems ridiculous that I spend a small fortune buying these specific uniforms and to hear from my child that the principal said she can't wear them to school. It's constant harassment on a daily basis and the girls in my daughters class try to hide and avoid her because of it. I would love to see her focus her energy on more important matters than if the pants are form fitting or baggy. At this point we are looking forward to middle school and not having the uniform police for a principal. Close Quote
