Posted May 31, 2007

the academic programs are good to very good. Leadership has been delegated to committees for more teacher involvement. Extracurricular activites have been fairly poor over the past 3 threes ;however, surveys were given to members of the community that ultimately stated that extracurricular activities are essential to overall student satisfaction. Consequently, leadership teams are currently working on developing EC activities for the student body that would coordinate with our new and upcoming school schedule. Over recent years, parent involvement has been poor. We are attempting to address this issue. But, as of yet, have not found solutions to this problem. The various ideas that have been implement to create a more involved parent base have failed in the short term.
