School Reviews
5   10/2/2006
I graduated from this school in 1977. I enjoyed the school and I am doing well. This school is doing better than many other public schools because of local support. But like any other public school, pressure is put upon the teachers to move kids through the system. Parents deteremine parent involvement, but the schools need to open the doors and let the parents know where the doors are! Go to your kids school and and spend a day watching.
