My husband and I have four children in this school system, one with a learning disability. We are people of color and have had a wonderful experience with this school curriculum and teachers. I graduated from this school myself and am aware of its history as a school with high academic standards. I would not allow my children to go anywhere else, I would home-school them myself first, as I have in the past before we moved back here. If you are an involved parent, the teachers are willing to work with you to help your child in any way possible. We have children in the elementary, middle school and high school and have a great relationship with all their teachers. The key is the relationship. You and your child's teacher partner together to assist them and to make sure that they are receiving a quality education. Neither of you can do it alone. My husband and I have worked with children and families in a professional capacity for over 20 years and I am speaking from that experience as well as a personal one. If your child is having problems in school academically or socially, I encourage you, as parents, to talk to your children and talk with the teachers to figure out how best to educate them. It's not just the school, it's the relationship.
