New curriculums drawing from faddish trends instead of reliance on proven success are adopted and then scrapped in favor of yet newer fads. Basic skills such as spelling, reading, and math are crammed into rigid schedules that allow little flexibility in meeting individual student needs. Special remedial programs are adopted to address the skill shortcomings, only to have the programs staffed by teachers with little classroom experience. I view a downward spiral until changes are made at the top. Read less

I have been pleased with the teachers that my child has had over the last two years. Very consistent and caring teachers. They have sign language class that is free from first to fifth grade and they also have spanish available for a fee. I wish they more after school programs like science and reading.
