What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 5, 2020

It would be a good school if some of the students didn't act like budding white supremacist. in some cases my daughter is the only black student in the class and some of the things they say to her it's deplorable. In the sad part is they would do it in front of teachers some will do something about it and some won't.
In one of my child's classes the kids asked why they couldn't use the n-word since they came up with the word and the teacher just sat there and said nothing. My child has been ostracised about everything from skin color to eye color to hair styles.
This school is very lacking in diversity and it shows. Close Quote
