We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My complaint with the school is that it doesn't hold the kids that struggle accountable, they just pass them through.

Both of my kids went through the high school. Wonderful teachers who really care, and the women in the office are great. School board is very progressive and supportive of public education.
