We love it here at PRES. Teachers and support staff are wonderful

We live close to the school, it's in our district. It is NOT balanced. We have 2 kids in this school and are highly disappointed in their discipline program. The kids have more than 1 teacher, very different than what we are used to. When the students have issues between themselves, it doesn't translate. My child was put as a partner with a kid who has repeatedly bullied my child and though the teachers are nice - they are "done" with these issues. It's not the teachers job to "parent" the kids, but it's the parents sending their kids to school that need to parent their kids. The teachers are constantly disrupted, having to deal with piddly little social issues that the kids have to escalate to shouting matches and curse words. The parents send their sick kids to school... without a care! My other child has been "exposed 3 times" over the course of 4 weeks ... come on! Each time, I get the call. The quality of the school reflects in the students they have and as Mr. Brown is excellent dealing with and understanding children, they cannot control the "class" of student that attends their school. This will be our last year at Welch, as I'll be enrolling our children in a Charter or Private school next year. Bullying is happening in the higher grades, kids with poor upbringing are dragging this school down.
