What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, December 10, 2020

Horrible. Administration is listless. The principals are “all lip no service.” The technology is a chaotic mess poorly instituted and confusing even for parents who excel with tech, let alone their kids. One teacher even put in writing that in class students take priority over virtual students. There is no communication from most teachers even if I beg them to inform me. They take no proactive action to help a struggling student until after we respond about failing grades with no warning. We finally had a counselor reach out almost three months into the year. I’ve been chastised by both principals more than once for emails that take the tone of this review. Who do they think they are? I’m the parent. Not the student. This is another arrogant, overrated example of the failing public school system. And the new principal is way over his head. I’ve asked him many times to instruct the teachers to give me a heads up when there are homework issues (incomplete etc) and they simply refuse to partner with me so my son can succeed. This school is a horrible disappointment. Close Quote
