This school is a joke. I complain they say next my daughter has an A in the class wow. Close Quote

This school has to be the worst school I've ever been involved with. They just assume let your child fail rather than put any extra effort in. These teachers and staff DON"T love their job,it's just a job.My son missed 8 of 16 days and NOT ONE teacher offered make up work. He has missing assignments with F's on his parent link. And their Parentlink participation is a joke. The P.E. teacher went 5 WEEKS without marking anything,then updates that my son has an F. E-mails to the principle go without response. THEY ARE RANKED 75TH OUT OF 78 IN THE STATE!!! PATHETIC! Close Quote
