I substituted a few times and each time the students were extremely disrespectful. I even had one boy try hitting me! Admin and a counselor took him out of the room for like 15 minutes and brought him back with a toy and snacks! Staff is horrible! So unwelcoming and rude! I filled in as a kindergarten para one day and the teacher came to the door and said she didnt want my help and slammed her door! This place is terrible!! DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!! OR EVER WORK HERE!!

The administration cares more about protecting the rights of the problem students than they do the students who are there to learn. My child has had an issue every year with at least one student in the class. Each year we have problems ranging from classroom disruption all the way up to simple assault and even one case of sexual harassment but in each instance the school has drug their feet and leaned more in favor of the problem students rights rather then the good of the class. In the case of Bridgeton schools the needs of the one seem to out weigh the needs of the many.
