This school has really taught me alot over the past 3 years . And this year Graduation was different but i completely learned alot . I'd love to thank the teachers & staff for being so supportive . Go Jags !
obviously the previously posted parent is not going to the PTA meetings. They spent an entire PTA going over the GATE program and they sent out information in the Wednesday envelopes. Read your Wednesday envelope. The Honors program doesn't start until 7th grade, but they do separate the kids into different levels based on whether they were GATE identified from elementary school. I do have to agree that there is considerable effort on the part of the staff to control the trouble-makers, but that's were the effort should be spent. The trouble-makers are the ones causing the problems. The music program is amazing. Mr. Richards, the orchestra teacher is amazing too.
As a parent, I have been immensely disappointed in this school. My son is in the 6th grade, and they have provided no honors classes, no GATE instruction, or anything to help the more advanced students. All the effort I see is spent on the trouble-makers, and believe me there are many. It is not at all the community school that the principal led us to believe, just stand outside at dismissal one day and you will see the out of control kids. Its really a shame b/c apparently this used to be a good school. I still gave it three stars because of the amazing band teacher, Ms. Whitney. They are lucky to have her.
