Absolutely horrible. I have been emailing my daughters teachers and principal for two weeks in regards to 20 ZERO's showing on the parent portal but none of them will return my emails. This is the type of issue that causes SC Schools to have a bad rep. Teachers and Principals who dont care about the students! Close Quote
