Terrible leadership and terrible results. Look at the student's proficiency results and judge for yourself. If this was a business, the whole administration would be fired. Do not send your child here if you have ambitions for your child beyond begging for money on Nevada.

Run don't walk from this middle school. Make the time to drive or find a car pool to another school if you care about education at all for your children.
