1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageJoseph Green and Sarah Smith(principal and associate principal)condone bullying and retaliation by teachers on students. Once you say something twice they get mad, refuse to return phone calls or emails, and if you go to the district office they blame the kid becase they are scared silent of the teachers union. Complete and utter failures and cowards as administrators. It's the band teacher who is the bully. 5 phone calls later 5 incidents by the teacher later, it is now the child's fault.Parent Review4mo ago - East High School
