by a teacher
Thursday, April 22, 2021

Poor environment for student learning. Teachers are under paid and over worked. Staff is amazing but there is no lead in leadership AT ALL. The current principal is very messy and tit for tat. In particular, how he runs the school is very unorganized and parents/teachers never get the correct information on time. I have also witnessed the principal and two vice principals lie to parents on multiple occasions ranging from COVID-19 updates and results to physical altercations between students. Not a great place to teach or for your child’s education. Close Quote
