Overall poor. Poor leadership. Teachers are jaded and going thru the motions. Teachers don’t care about the students

The elementary school is actually great, but the middle school and high school are soooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The teaching staff is actually pretty good for the most part, but unfortunately their hands are often tied by the administration. I can't tell you how many teachers have also expressed their concerns, but can't speak out for fear of being fired. This school promotes hate, discrimination, racism, sexism, and has a reputation among local hospitals and mental health facilities for it. They hide behind excuses for failing to adequately protect their students, and try to place blame on the victims and their families. THIS SCHOOL IS NOT SAFE !!!! They also fail to provide clear and decisive leadership, which usually leads to last minute notice and / or all out failure to provide information with reasonable notice. This not only leads to confusion, but often becomes the responsibility of the parents/guardians to accommodate them. It's sad and truly disappointing how many of the "leaders" here don't seem to care at all about the students and families they are supposed to be serving. I hope and pray that positive people and changes will come quickly!

If I could have given zero stars I would have. This school is a joke. No one calls back everyone is always busy. They do not listen to what the parents say or want or know the child needs. They give way to much homework why are the children doing homework at 8pm still? I cant wait to move! Black River is better!
