Trenton

I attended this school in the early and mid 80’s and had the worst education experience of my life. I was an advanced 2nd grader and put into an overcrowded 3rd grade class the next year. My third grade teacher made me write sentences for petty violations of her discipline code and most of the year I was forced to sit out recesses writing sentences after sentences. This made me hate school and by forth grade I didn’t want to have anything to do with it. I was held back in 4th grade in a split class of 4th and 5th graders the following year. It was humiliating and counterproductive. I grew to hate school even more and fell behind. I then moved away after that horrible year but the longterm scars affected me my entire life. I would hope it was recognized how horribly they messed up with me but who knows.. they saw me as the problem and didn’t question their system. I don’t have children, a companion, a home or career but if I had children i would never trust the public education system.

I have never seen such a caring staff at a school. All the students are treated as family. I would recommend this school to anyone.
