This school is dangerous the building is old and i think the kids should be around the school.. they should be able to build another build a brand new buildind for the 8 & 9 graders.. but not only the school is in bad condition but the students are refusing to learn inthe school process..the school need to push the success in the school and have children to learn stronger and more harder than they are doin now,,at least have the children on a high school level to pass to the next grade that what i really think and i realli think it should improve.

I feel the teacher and principal need to contact the parent about their child either by phone or mail about whats going on with them. Principal needs to get all his facts straight befor punishing a child for something they didn't do. Because he refuses to listen to the child and investigate the facts.
