This is the worst school I've ever delt with in my life!!! These kids are better off home schooled! The teachers and principal is a joke ! The teacher will stick their noses where it don't belong ! Such as your child's medical record! Im sorry you are a teacher not a doctor! Since I would not put my child on medication they have mad this kids life and our life a living hell ! They Text,mail,band app,call you repeatedly wanting him to be put in iep ! I get a call and he gets a write up saying Ur kid farted! He actually got wrote up for that ! He gets in trouble for things that other kids said he did ! Even though the teacher didn't here him say it boom write up! He tripped on a kids shoe and he fail boom write up! He was doing measurements in class and he told a kid measure my butt! Not even to the teacher joking around! She then explained to him why it was wrong ,then wrote him up ,then told the principal then they called me! So I'm gonna punish my child a fourth time after the write up,after the principal? Are you kidding me? Not to mention another second grade teacher after my son tripped on that kid's shoe and he fell yanked him up by his hand so hard it hurt his wrist and shoulder! The teacher and principal needs to be fired immediately! She don't listen and throws a fit like a child as does my child's second grade teacher ! This kid cant even breath without getting a write up!

As a parent I feel the Parent/School interactions are more structured like a seminar. Show up, sit down, listen, leave. The interaction isn't very engaging, but the school has a large population so unsure how to fix these on a large scale. Perhaps focus more on Teacher - Class and less School-Family. Biggest problem here isn't the School or Teachers, but the Parents and Students. Many students don't care about learning at all and the Teacher's have very few tools to rein them in from distracting other students and being disruptive. Often these students act this way because their parents care the same amount about their education. Overall its a good school for those who want learning opportunities.
