From conversations with both a teacher and a student that attends, the ‘School of Excellence’ part in the name itself is for show. From the teacher — there is a lack of support from administrators and apparently, you do not have to be certified (having passed the praxis) to now be responsible for students. Imagine having been a server and now, also without much support, I’m now TEACHING. Comical. I’ve also heard (may or may not be true) that an entire grade-level of teachers left? Was it due to the lack of support, inexperience of higher management or what? From a students perspective, one of their teachers that they enjoy so much — shared with me that the admins are rude and when there is chaos going on they are no where to be found and it leaves the teachers frustrated and you can tell that they are stressed. I’m not sure who should be held most accountable for the jungle like environment, the nitpicking of teachers who are trying to make it, daily — but if it’s the principle he/she needs to be evaluated. Expeditiously.
