While the majority of teachers are wonderful the grading guidelines are unrealistic. One day late on homework and the students get 1/2 credit (which is a 50). No if, ands or buts. This can bring a students GPA down in a split second. I am sad to say that the focus seems to be on teaching kids 'lessons' rather than working with the students to learn. Communication is virtually non-existant unless pursued by parent. School board has their fingers in too many pots. The school has lost their focus on what should be important; Kids and their education. Can't wait till my student is out.

Middle school years are tough enough socially, but when you add apathetic teachers to the mix who are poorly supported by their adminstration and school board, it makes it even more difficult. Our child had a challenging transition here and we abandoned the school for another mid-way through our experience. Our child struggled with some learning issues and we found we received little support from the adminstration. Kids can fly through with high grades here, but this is little indication of what they are really learning. They have a relatively new principal, and hopefully he is turning the place around before we are faced with the decision to send our second child here in a couple of years.
