We moved specifically to this district as it was rumored to be excellent. We are very disappointed with the lack of instruction and fundamental learning. My son consistently holds an A or B in math, yet the little I do see of his work, he is almost entirely unable to work the problems himself. Their standards for safety are ridiculously low and security seems to be more about keeping parents out than our children safe, who leave their class and return as they please. I told my daughter's teacher last year that she needed to focus more on reading as she was falling behind, the teacher disagreed and said she was doing quite well. Her recent state scores show that there is more than cause for concern. Teaching here seems to focus on snack time, movies and wasting kid's time with new and fun ways to do things that simply do not carry forward or cause more confusion for the child. Meanwhile, there is a lot less learning and an aversion to homework that leaves our children with an inferior education that just breaks my heart. What happened to healthy repetition for greater retention?
