This school used to be great! Unfortunately, the current math teacher is not helpful at all. She doesn't assist the students and assigns challenging computer Math questions without adequate explanation. It feels like she's just pushing the responsibility onto the students. Some teachers assume the material is obvious to everyone, but as a math teacher, she should explain things better and not just be in it for the money. Then the school replaces with subs who also don't explain the best; they lack in this area.Over the years, people have left because the math instruction is inadequate. When students move on to high school, they are unprepared because she confuses them more by assigning computer-based questions instead of thoroughly going over the material. It's especially concerning because she teaches 7th and 8th grade. The superintendent needs to address this issue, or the school's numbers will continue to decline. Hire a better math teacher, or consider transferring your child to another school. I hope this trend stops and the school gets a new math teacher someone who explains thoroughly and does not assume these kids get it! Also, for elective subjects in middle school choose another teacher, not the same teacher. Unfortunately, a lot of the great middle school teachers have retired or are retiring.Disappointed for middle school/Junior high
