Principal is non responsive to complaints the communication could be much better. They'll contact you quickly about your child's behavior, payment for tech fees etc but slot of things go ignored which doesn't sit right with me. The bus app is never accurate, no accountability on their end in regards to this.

Every day when I pick my child up he is telling me how kids are billing him. I have emailed teachers about the problem. Nothing got done. Till this year. Some teachers aren't very good with emailing back. There is no reason why a parent should have to wait almost 2 weeks to get a email back. I ask about ways I can help my child in classes and I never get the help I'm looking for. They need free tutoring for kids who may need that extra help. Why should a child struggle. Then you have some teachers who make class fun and really get the kids into liking what they are teaching then there is some that make it where kids just don't care because they don't make it fun. When you work with kids no matter the aga learning should be fun. There are some teachers kids can't understand because they don't speak English how is that fair to a child. There is definitely somethings that need to change.

Wow - I am moving to the Charlotte suburbs next year and trying to choose a district and school that has the best overall dynamic for my son who will be a freshman. I have been put off by a couple schools in the area who didn’t do tours or were abrupt. I have also had two schools be warm and welcoming but this school which a friend who lives there had warned me against was the coldest and nastiest when I simply explained that I would like a tour or just meet with someone before buying a house in the district. I was rushed off the phone and told “we don’t do tours, we don’t like having a lot of people here, we are a very closed up school, you would have to live in our district to go here (duh),” and the most unwelcoming call I have had. I said quickly crossed this school off my list and feel sorry for any student or parent that has to deal with that kind of negativity.
