Disgusted. My son wasn't taught a thing on 4 years of being in Black River school. Nearby Lincoln school taught him everything in one year that Black River wouldn't.

Went into the bathroom and smelled that yart dat bih was laced with Fent

Both of my children enjoyed their years at Forrest Street, and my youngest is truly sad to leave due to moving to the Lincoln Elementary district in between Kindergarden and 1st grade. Both 4k and Kindergarden teachers for my sons were wonderful, however my oldest's 1st grade teacher was horrible and issues were not addressed at the time (however, the new principal is MUCH better than the one who was in office then). There is constant opportunity for parent involvement, and strong support from the parents in turn!

As a parent who put one child through this school, I cannot express how glad I am to have moved out of the district before my younger son would have been in this school! It is terribly dated, and cannot possibly comply with safety regulations. Many areas are in disrepair, it always looks dirty, and is not handicap accessible which made it hard for myself and grandparents to get around during school functions. The building is often hot early and late in the school year, and cold in the winter due to lack of insulation, old windows, and an over-taxed HVAC system. One of the foam ceiling tiles actually fell from the ceiling ON my son while in his desk! The staff is hit or miss - there were a few that went above and beyond to help my son (both special behavioral needs as well as gifted academically) succeed, while others seemed to not care what went on around them and allowed severe bullying to go unchecked.
