Parents are not really involved at this school. They have tried to have a PTA and a Family Collaborative, but at this point, I don't see any parent involvement in clubs, activities, or in any sort of a PTA.

A lot of behaviors with little supervision. Middle schoolers on the loose. The lessons are not as they appear. More like diy arts and crafts.
