This school was subject to a 2011 Federal lawsuit due to discriminatory suspension of students. They were suspended, not for behavior problems or fighting or even for academic violations. Some students received suspensions for 50 days simply for having a shirt that wasn't completely tucked in. In one case, the principal spotted a student whose shirt became untucked AS HE WAS TUCKING IT BACK IN, and still suspended him for 50 days. These draconian practices may be ending due to a lawsuit, but should it really take a lawsuit to get a school to focus on important academic issues rather than forcing students not to be able to get an education?

I have called multiple times, made multiple trips to this school. I had to commute on my lunch hour from work to attempt to obtain information needed for Bridge program that starts in less than a week. When arriving, and finally speaking to principal he did not have an idea of the program information. This gives me so much hope in the education that is supposed be provided to my child. What kind of leader does not know any information about the programs at the school that he is the principal of. This makes me very uncomfortable with the rest of the school staff, and there abilities to successfully teach children with a leader such as this. I am at a lost for words as to how this can be acceptable for anyone.

No communication and don't know how to solve problems
