This school is over the top HORRIBLE. They barely feed the younger students (K + 1st) here. [guessing this is because they are not able to convey this to their parents] I have eaten lunch with my child before and only received a milk and half an orange. My children have also told me that the adults will make them sit on the cafeteria floor to eat if the lunch room is too loud....which is regularly here. I've not been to prison, but believe inmates are treated with more dignity and respect. Teachers are not concerned about the academic success of your child. My child was allowed to skate through her 1st grade year barely doing any work. At conferences we were told that she was doing GREAT!....until the final conference were we were told she'd pretty much not done any work the entire year. Kids are allowed to bully with no repercussion. The offender is treated with more rights and respect than the victim. The teachers do not want to be bothered with student problems, etc. They simply don't care. They do more yelling, than speaking simple truths to young people. Horrible administration, and the student population is well....what you would expect on this side of town getting this kind of education.
