This is horribly run as challenges must be met. Special Education is necessary as average and top flight students are hampered by bad behaviour, special needs that has to be addressed. Parent backing disrupts the success chain. There is no music or art which is a travesty. These subjects are proven to help the main courses available. The head of schools here needed to help the quality of education and not rely just on graduation rates. This is a horrific situation as Palatka and Putnam Country are in the bottom 50%. This has to mean something to parents, Administration, and School Administration.
