The experience I have is through my child’s eyes she was going to this school from kindergarten until being transferred almost at the end of 5th grade . My child was frustrated not being heard being labeled as basically a troubled child who wasn’t smart enough . Of course those words never came out...

Large classes, (30 plus students) cutbacks everywhere and it's not fair to the teachers, staff, or children. I congratulate everyone for trying so hard to educate the students with limited resources. Parents must step up and pitch in, now more than ever.
