This school is such a mess. They turn a blind eye & a deaf ear to Juvenile Delinquents, all the while, Punishing Good kids who work hard & earn good,even exemplary grades, for being Stupid Once! They have children do the punishment set forth by the school & Say all is A-OK, nothing further is required... Then turn the children over to the authorities, where the children are then Branded as Trouble making Gang Members(insert loud cough) & are placed on Probation etc. & treated like your common Criminal. Yeah, now That's the way to get children to Want to Stay in School...Kicking them while they are down. Schools have Too Much Power!

I second the comment on the band program. I have seen that happen, in certain sections, first hand. In fact, from what I understand in one instance the private lessons were even being taught by a band tech paid by GPAA. He was let go last month for that.......but the issue still remains. You PAY, or you don't play.....well, you don't get very good positions anyway. I sure wish that I knew how to get in touch with the parent that made the previous comment. If we would all stand together, maybe we could change what is happening to our children. Trust me.......my voice has been heard! But, I am only one........

School says it is no tolerance for bullies but do nothing but turn their heads to issues. Teachers are being laid off while expensive sports projects and administration is left alone. All extra programs are PAY or get left behind! Forget about NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND! Band programs want parents to play to pay and then expect private lessons or your child is left behind. Band teachers don't teach each day and don't teach all bands at high school levels. Other athletic programs select only those who pay big $$ to play outside and inside of school. Very dissatisfied.

School district and especially the high school have taken a dramatic turn for the worse in the last 3 years. Administration places very little emphasis on preparing the kids for life after high school. Little discipline or high standards. Very disappointed in the education my two kids received.
