Principal did not keep her word when seeking help on students behavior. She agreed on a meeting with school psychologist on possibilities child's attitude could have changed from one year to the next. Later sent a letter expelling child. Only until district got involved did she appologize for forgetting. A plan was put in place and she did not respect it this year.

Some subjects such as English seem to have support and tutoring.

Even some teachers lack consistency in treating children with respect.

Terrible my son has been attending three years with this one. I feel alone with the lack of consistency with helping my child grow as an individual. The principal has twice not followed through with plans put in place to better my child's education, self respect and attitude towards himself and others. She knew the importance of following through with the plan put in place by the assistant superintendent to help my child succeed as a student and yet she instead dropped it saying she thought it expired.

Some teachers don't care about alternatives on helping children succeed.

It's easier to get rid of a child with problems than to question a change in character after two years to the next.

The principal is excellent - very responsive and professional, and knows how to work with kids. The social worker is also very good; I see her working every day to check in with kids who are at-risk, and she has put together programs which help kids develop good social skills. The staff actively works to prevent bullying and promote good behavior. The teachers are caring and work well together. This is a school with many disadvantaged kids from all kinds of backgrounds. Parent involvement is minimal and the PTA is not very active, but the staff is clearly dedicated.
