What people are saying

by a citizen
Tuesday, December 17, 2019

The nepotism is ridiculous and all the new, younger teachers get run out (bullied) by the existing ones. The funding is not used appropriately as there are necessary renovations that aren't being addressed. It has become impossible for students from large or poor households to participate in co-curricular activities as there is a $50-$100 fee on top of what you will need to buy through the course of the activity. Teachers need to buy their own supplies for their students. They rail the students to go to college after graduation but offer practically no guidance. Teachers are bullying students with no repercussions. They make it impossible for anyone in the community to address anything.
There are a few very good teachers that care a lot about their students and their success. Close Quote
