Friday, August 16, 2024

We are thankful for the counselor and teachers we had in my teen's last 2 years of high but mistakes made by the school and counselor in the first 2 years almost caused him not to be able to graduate. The social worker at the school is a joke, not helpful, unprofessional, inappropriate. Graduation day was a relief in more ways than one. There are some really great teachers at this school. I am sad that they have to work with the ones that aren't great. Close Quote
