Unit 2

Horrendous experience with this school. Fighting took place and nothing done. One of the girls made it on the sports teams even though “behavior is taken into consideration”. Reported multiple issues only to be told “that just how it is here, and that’s how it is in the entire district”. Will likely move due to the experiences with this school.

Groves Elementary is awful. My child's teacher is very polite and very well-educated, but it seems her hands are tied as she does not have the support she needs from Groves leadership. The Principal is so concerned with how the school rates overall that she refuses to repair issues at the core. She would rather report the symptoms of an issue to the parent and not validate the parent's concern and willingness to address the issue once its reported. Aside from the teacher, I dread having to interface with any of the staff at this institution. They are rude, belittling, judgemental, unapologetic and intimidating. My child is bullied here and the staff ignores it. The staff bullies me, too. It makes me sick.

No student left behind? But students are left behind. Just passing them on without regard for their future is leaving them behind. These kids are not proficiently prepped for college or the workforce. If you are lower income, any racial group other than white, or have a child with disabilities your child is being left behind. They will not prioritize your child or their future at PNGHS.

My daughter went to this school for all of Kindergarten and 8 weeks of 1st grade. Let's hope you never have to withdraw a kid from this school because they don't give you all the paperwork for you to enroll them into their next school and they take all the school supplies you send with your kid the first day of school. I paid over 100 dollars in school supplies for my child just for them to take every bit of it when I took her out.
