School Reviews

This was once a fabulous school. However, when the administration changed over, I see a lot of unusual practices with the teachers and the administration. They are rude, do as they please, and do not follow the policy on many different subjects. Many of the teachers let their students know their political beliefs, discourage your child's political beliefs if they differ, and they are a way to open with their comments being public servants. You are there to teach our children..... not push your beliefs (political, religious, etc). That is not okay. They also punish the students by affecting their grades if for some reason they don't like your child. Which is wrong to even let a child know that you somehow for whatever reason dislike them?! School board should get involved with this school fast before a civil lawsuit is filled.
