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.

I have had a bullied child barely get support from the school. Classes appear racially segregated. Appears to be a major leadership issue. Principal is not responsive. We sold our home to get closer to a better school.
