This is similar to the experience we had with our son. We didn't know he was failing until late in the term. The teacher I referred to in my posting dated 4/29/09 was failing to input grades into the Portal system which when used correctly is an excellent tool for parents. However, when you have a teacher that is too busy to do her job (she actually told the class she had better things to do) and a principal that backs his teacher regardless of the facts then it is of no use. When she did post grades, many times they were inaccurate. My son had work returned to him which had been graded yet she had input a zero into Portal. I can only hope that with enough complaints about this teacher that the principal will finally have to face facts and discipline her.

We moved here this yr and the research my husband did, didn't add up to the end results.The teacher had very poor communication skills, which contributed to a failing grade. To the best of my knowledge the teacher wasn't disciplined. We sent emails,called and visited the school! They had bridges (tutoring) and said that he couldn't join because his grade at the time wasn't failing. But on his progress report and online history, he was failing. They denied our child the right to pass the class. He had a lot of missing work! Was told he could go to tutoring but he couldn't participate with the tutoring class! That's like your invited to a party but you cant sit at the table with the other kids, you have to sit facing the wall and you cant play either. After reading the reviews,involving the higher ups wouldn't make a differance.

I would like to start off by addressing some of the reviews, I have two children attending CHHS one is a sophmore and one a junior as far as fights breaking out in school and the administration not handling them they are handling them in my opinion to the best of their ability, maybe we as parents should stop blaming the school system for fights/our childrens behavior for it is all of us as parents that are responsible for raising our children and seeing to it they respect others. I feel the curriculum is set by the county to challange all children not just AP now I do have to admit my junior is taking honor's classes but her regular classes are just as challanging. If you feel your child isn't challange then get involved and have his/her classes changed to more challenging ones.
