by a parent
Sunday, May 5, 2019

Our son will not spend his 8th grade year here. The bullying is out of control. Some, not all of the teachers push their personal views in class. I am not the only parent who has made complaints. I am one of many parents who are either homeschooling, online schooling, or moving children to private schools because of the things going on here. This school also has a problem, hiring teachers who have questionable actions towards minors. Yes, you read that correctly. Our other child is at Mary Walter and she will never step foot in Cedar Lee middle. Close Quote
