Poor communication. The counselors we have been assigned unwilling to help resolve issues when they arise causing my students to miss important opportunities. My 4.2 GPA student was unable to apply for National Honor Society or test for National Merit Scholarship because we were not notify of these opportunities in advance. Other issues have not been resolved either.

I loved southeast polk, I had a pretty good experience there however now that my little sister is in school, I am a little frustrated with the bullying! Yes my sister is difficult, however the teachers do nothing to stop the bullying and even go as far as picking on her themselves. Disappointed in how they have had multiple suicides and don't seem to change the way they do things.
