Horrible, absolutely horrible school. The kids are terrible and as they do have some great teachers, they can not do their job when these kids are only there cause its the law.

2017 to 2018 has been the worst ever, I am blessed that I don't have to come back, I will make sure it is better for the next set of Kids, my tax dollars still pay for this. Now is the time the media will be told about what is happing in this school, and why nothing is being done about it, and the Kid are the ones who pay. Yes Media Time for Fifth Ward and the School Board and maybe We will get answers. The Kids Just might get an education.

A each verbally and mentally abuse my daughter she didn't follow any prevention measures though steps are place from my daughter's IEP. It has gotten to the point that my daughter hit the teacher.I dealt with my daughter but I ask the school why did the teacher not pull her out the class give her a time out ask the teacher aid to remove her or call for administration My daughter asked her was she going to do anything about the problem but the teacher choice not to use preventive measures available. The assistance principle told me my daughter behavoir that day was good until that point.But then when writes on the expulsion papers that her behavior was immoral/ vicious and assault/battery.Hitting someone is assault/battery. immoral/vicious practice(wicked evil corrupt savage depraved) tells me the school is deliberately trying to have my daughter viewed as so.While knowing and doing nothing about the fact that professionally and ethically the teacher did nothing to prevent the situation that could have been prevented.I reported her for calling my daughter stupid so she was trying to let this situation blow up to get my daughter put out.This is poor professional behavior.
