I've seen the school go downhill since the first year one of my children attended. Communication from the school to parent is inadequate.

or worse. When my first daughter went, nearly 20 years ago, there was weekly, if not daily, communications from her teachers. We got a phone call if our child was absent, within a couple of hours.

who have attempted to reach out to me, but they are few and far between. The general sense I've gotten from the school is that kids like mine (ADHD) just mess up their test averages. The Truancy Court process is absolutely terrifying There is no support for kids who don't fit into their Capstone-happy high honors model and I am currently preparing to pull my son out of this school before it's too late.

I am not particularly happy with the way this school is run. The communication between teachers, principals, and the guidance department with the parents is awful. If children are not encouraged to learn these days, what's to become of them?
