This school doesn't keep the patents informed about problems the students are having. We don't get grades back from the work that are fine in class we are not informed about different state test that the kids have to take until less than a week prior. The homework that comes home with the kids are irrelevant to the state test the kid have to take. Bullying is not taken serious. Even when you complain to the board you get no responses back after they take your information and tell you they will call you within 48 hours. They are not teaching for success. They are only teaching kids how to take test. The most important factor is you think your child is doing good because you see the good scores on homework but in class work doesn't come home. When you ask about it the response is always we work on that stuff in class in small groups. No one is being held responsible and no one is looking into the actual numbers of what is going on. Even this message will get overlooked. Maybe if I go to the news or write a column in the news paper people will then start to pay attention. The principle is horrible. To me it seems like they only care about the 9000+ dollars they get from each students that comes out of the tax payers pocket. When you start to ask real questions the blame then send to go on the student which usually is "he /she lacks focus" or home work is getting turned in late because they gave the homework folder to the wrong teacher. Instead of having one homework folder they need to have one for each class. This school sucks. It's failing and it's not the kids fault the school makes it seem like your kid is doing good until report cards or testing comes out. Then that's when you hear about all the problems. Before then you hear nothing and see nothing except graded homework.

The school is getting better. There is strong community involvement in the school. The area is more safe than it was a few years ago and planned new developments should bring further improvements.
