My is a fare experience I’ve Teo kids of mine in this school. There some very good teachers. The soccer coach is amazing, my daughters is always talking about him. He is effective and really care about his students.

This school is the worst school my son has ever attended! for starters there is no such thing as communication with parents. They never inform you of any incident that happens at school that a parent needs to know about. They had my son sitting facing the wall and the door since the school year started and I knew nothing until yesterday! unlike every student whom were facing the teacher he was not. They discriminate and a violate the IDEA in regards to FAPE. Take your child else where specially if they have a disability.

As a parent in the Colonial School District I belive the Middle School curriculum is good and prepares the students well for high school. Just like any school the more the parents are involved and monitor homework completion and academic progress the more success the child will have.

In the beginning my son was bullied. We went to the principle and she took care of the problem. She is awesome. However, the communication is poor. Kids are disrespectful and very loud in the classes. This makes learning an issue. I just hope next year in a new school will be better.Also homework is never given. How am I as a parent supposed to 're-enforce what is taught?
