I pulled my 8th grade son from vinita middle school because he was not getting the help he needed. I am currently homeschooling. He needed the one on one help and is now excelling. During his time at the school my son was bullied.It took a few times but it was taken care of, and I thank mr williams for that. However, I feel that there could of been more done to help him academically.
