I must question a district that rewards children for attendance! at bhp they do precisely that. How about rewarding great academic abilities? Seems that discipline and religion have the most emphasis. What happened to dividing church and state? (Says so in the u.S. Constitution!)

The quality of the acacdemic programs is not that great if you ask me. They seem to leave children behind that are not mastering the programs and they do not refer those children for any type of independent help. I do not feel that a school that allows children to be left behind is a good shcool.
