Rochester High School

As a concerned and involved parent, I have been deeply disappointed with the way this school has chosen to treat some of its parents. It has become increasingly clear that there is a clear bias towards certain parents, while the rest of us are treated with disdain and disrespect. Despite my efforts to engage with the school and ask essential questions, I have found that the staff are often unable or unwilling to provide me with the answers I seek. Recently, I attended a parent-teacher conference, hoping to discuss my child's progress and any concerns I had. However, what I experienced was nothing short of a complete letdown. The conference was rushed and chaotic, and I felt ignored and dismissed. Even though I arrived on time for my appointment, the staff skipped over me in favor of another parent who was running late. When it was finally my turn, I was rushed through my appointment and told that the conference's purpose was not to ask questions but simply to receive information. I left the conference feeling frustrated and angry. I had come to the school in good faith, hoping to engage in a productive conversation about my child's education, and instead, I was treated like an inconvenience. It is deeply concerning that the school seems to have no interest in engaging with parents or addressing their concerns. As a parent, I have a right to be heard and to receive answers to my questions, and I expect the school to honor that right.
