Open Quote Poor administration will be the downfall for E P Todd School. The school has been in a downward spiral the last couple of years. Great teachers are leaving in mass. Parents of excellent students are using school choice to attend better schools in the district. The bad students are making it miserable for the remaining good students. The principal is beyond unapproachable and never seems to care what is really going on. She wants to LOOK LIKE she is doing something good. She does not have everyone fooled!! Close Quote
