I think this school should do more for the kids to get them going,and change some of the teaching and teachers.I can count only 4to continue to teach there. As for the principal that is there now, Mr H. so far its all negetive stuff. I'll post some more during the school year.2004-2005

Posted August 22, 2003

The teachers and principal of this school do a great job with what they have to deal with. The problems that the children come to school with make it more difficult for them to learn and I believe this could be accomplished more easily in smaller groups, with more specialized attention in the areas that are needed. I care very much about what my child is learning and am concerned about these low ratings in math and reading.

About the tests
