What people are saying

This school is on the low-performing list for Oklahoma. Meaning, the students are performing at LESS THAN AVERAGE for the nation. Their are two factors that need to be looked at:
1. The involvement of the parents (or lack there of)
2. The discipline of the students

If the administration/teachers aren't keeping students/parents accountable for the behavior of the students at school, then learning suffers. If students are given assignments and parents aren't being held accountable to MAKE their kids do their homework...learning suffers.

The outdated grading system being used by the school also only serves to confuse parents as to the readiness of their children. There are more advances programs out their that can assess and individualize the instruction of students...but Wiley Post is not taking advantage of them. Close Quote
