School Reviews

HAPA''s leadership is horrible, from the supposed leadership in Columbus, to the principal. My child comes home often and tells me that kids are fighting in her class. The teachers have to deal with terrible behaviors from. their students and those kids are given no consequences. My child is upset daily because she is unable to learn. I am concerned about the behaviors and lack of support given to the teachers. The kids are removed from the class for maybe 20 minutes, and then they are sent back and disturb the class again. My child will not be returning next year, hopefully sooner than later.
