Open Quote I am a former teacher at this school. There are some great teachers and students in this school. I have great memories from my students and some co-workers. I don't regret at all leaving this school. The administrator was plain cruel and demanded utilization of many elements in education proven unsuccessful in research. During my time at this school we had a CO2 problem. It was bad enough I noticed something was wrong. It was found we had elevated levels of CO2. The remedy was to keep windows open (even in winter) and fans on.

This was not my first school in KCS but by far the worst. After seeing the support the board office had for this school I moved to another district. The actions of this administrator towards me (and others) were off the rails!

The school serves the same type of population many other KCS and West Virginia schools serves. But, at this school behaviors are out of control and students are substantially behind in learning. It is a heartbreaking school! Close Quote
