The principal does nothing to protect the students, especially the girls. My daughter has been harassed for the past 2 years and not is being physically touched by the boys and my daughter is not even confident to go to the principal for help because he won't do anything. He will put the blame on her.

Dr. Grider is a bully to his staff. He puts down harsh punishments when approached by his teachers for help. Instead if help they are systematically driven out of the school whether they are effective teachers or not.

This school is awesome. First I was a little dissapointed to enter into sixth grade and be hit with the info that there is no soccer at my new school. This made me upset but I decided to go for another sport like track and then hockey my hockey coach was very informative and helped me learning ALL MY NEW skills! I love being a lady jaguar and I look forward to the 2017/18 school year. Two reasons why I don't quite like my school all the time: the lunch should be longer and 2 bc I have a very short time to get my stuff form locker and get back to class. I start downstairs and then have to go upstairs for my locker and go back down again with 1000+ students trying to do the same thing! And old teachers need to retire please.
