This school deserves a negative rating for discrimination, prejudice, and bias (favoritism). Social affiliation and personal preference should not determine who is allowed to speak up. Infringing on my basic right of freedom and equality is not acceptable behavior from a public educational institution. They are normalizing censorship. There are other influences motivating how the administration treats students other than their academic or program performance. Preferential treatment is staggering. I sat in a meeting where the majority of parents present were okay with the principal coming in to deliberately verbally attack me, use angry scare tactic to intimidate or imply that I was not welcome, threaten that he could make a decision that would not be best for my child, and push his hand out to make a stop motion directly at me before leaving. All this in response to me asking a question concerning products that were ordered but had not arrived/been delivered to the students. First I asked the teacher for an update, and did not get a response in 10 days so I asked the AP who oversees that program for an update. I and other parents paid for said items. In their defense, most of the parents present did not know I had asked the question so it all went right over their heads. I am trying to follow protocol and use the chain of command. I am waiting to meet with the principal. Hopeful, but not holding my breathe. Will update this comment if anything changes.

I graduated in 2000 and was involved in both band and softball, and now my son is enrolled there and is involved in both band and ROTC and I love the fact that he's seen nothing but positivity there as well did I before graduation.
