The learning in this school is okay. I think the teachers could focus more on individual attention.

Posted July 4, 2005

Extreme lack of parental involvement despite many attempts by teachers and staff. There are many parents who are very supportive of the school system while others can find nothing right with anything.

Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
