What people are saying

Monday, January 28, 2013

Mediocre, self-centered teachers without a serious degree of engagement with the students, and an inability to apply modern pedagogy. Many lower class students with behavior problems in respect, courtesy and beligerance. Principal is not engaged. Overemphasis on Fine Arts with a tremendous naivety to realize Fine Arts do not pay the bills or create a leadership position for a country; science, math and engineering do and they are insufficiently emphasized. Less than 50% of the students are proficient in math, reading, science by WESTEST. How in the hell can School Digger give this school such a high rating. School Digger has absolutely no credibility.
