I attended the Back to School Night for my granddaughter's school. The teachers and classrooms were welcoming and had classwork on display. The principal came by and introduced himself. The presentation was organized and included needed information. There was a brief period of time for questions.

My daughter attended 6th grade before pulling her out. The school has killed any inspiration for learning she once had. The leadership is downright incompetent as we and other families we know have had zero support/accountability on issues ranging from bullying, drug solicitation in the bathrooms, antisemitism, students with needs not getting their entitled benefits, overall poor academics... I know my daughter didn't feel safe going there after an incident she had...in addition to a bomb scare that cancelled the first day of school. There was also a legit firearm threat that was fortunately neutralized by police before anything happened, but the campus format is completely unsecure. From all accounts, there apparently are a few teachers there who are competent and inspirational, but my daughter didn't experience any of them. Zero stars for the administration. After dealing with them, a strong vote of "no confidence." If you are a voter reading this, it's time to oust Turnbull and get a real staff. They have completely failed the community.
