Whoever wrote the top review is not aware of how terrible this school is. Don't send your kids here if you can help it. Poor communication between the faculty and staff. The teachers have no idea what is going on outside their own classroom. Staff and teacher treat the students like a statistic I.e. they don't care about our kids here. Terrible safety we tested the staff and they have no idea who they let in the door. We could have walked in and shot up the place very easily. No officer on property. This school system is failing our children. Asst Principal sent a student home, claiming she was suspended and the child's teacher had no idea about it. Why work in the field of education if you don't care about children?? I hope more parents are alerted to this poor excuse of a school and take action. They also need a bullying program. Please contact the superintendent and the school board. Putnam county needs to clean up our schools.
