We have a lot of wonderful teachers that care very much about the kids.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted December 19, 2008

I think that the teachers need to quit trying to be the students parents and worry more about teaching. In this school the teachers are more worried about trying to tell the parents how to discipline their children and raise them instead of letting the parents know what the children need help with in the classroom. The principal is not even a principal he is more worried about talking on the phone and wondering outside to talk and visit than really care what the students and teachers are doing. I personnally have tried to talk to him about my concerns with the way the teachers are with children and he doesn't care about any of it. I think that this school needs to have someone come in to be a good principal and not worry about trying to be the students parents they already have parents.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
