Parsons Junior High School

The school lacks support for parents and teachers. The school board does not communicate well with parents and does not answer important questions. They act as if being asked anything is burdensome to them and leave everything vague. They do not think beyond the scope of what actions they should take for the majority, rather they make decisions based on what will save their seats on the board. They do not stop conflict and allowed gossip and slander to destroy the school. We are choosing to remove our child and not return. I would never recommend this school to anyone, especially when considering the board is clearly not changing and continues in their old ways with sticking their head in the sand and moving on until they believe all their problems will go away. One teacher and one aide gossiping and going to parents in such an elaborate way, while the board did nothing to stop this is disheartening. I saw the messages where help was sought out and religious manipulation was used to try and ignore the problems. The board had other issues this year as well but this was the final straw for us.
